    I read this page

    http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/streetlegal.html

    which basically states the only headlights legal in California are white lights

    I was thinking..

    What if instead of getting a blue bulb, i get a blue cover for my headlight..

    I assume its illegal regardless but would i be able to get away with it most likely? is it even worth a shot?
    anyone done the film before?

    Or would i be better with a brighter white, a little bit of blueish bulb?

    I know having a yellow tint on your front headlights is illegal so I would assume the same of blue.

    The best way to do it is just to assume that if you cant find the answer, itll probably get you a fix it ticket in the end.

    Any kind of tint on your front two side windows or headlights is apparently not legal ( got tickets for it ) :cry:

    Anyways I found that (if you are looking to spend money) up to 6k HID are legal anything higher isn't but you can Probably get away with 8k, they have a blue tint to them.

    I know HID are expensive, and that our cars have the relay issue, where you cannot turn them off or you have a rave in front of your car, but they do last longer than normal headlight, so I see it as a good investment.

    But once again thats just me :)

    the blue film ive seen on so many mercedes out here in the valley and the cops don't have a problem with it because its not a light and when you turn your lights on the light does not turn blue at all because of the film or any color film

    I thought you just had to be able to see it from 500 feet away or something.
