As stated above are clear Italian lenses legal in NC? Don't need to be pulled over for this.
Thanks |

OK, talked to a state inspection guy today. He said all lights except back-up light needs to be colored (red) in our case. So where do I find bulbs colored red for our cars. I saw some red covers but don't know if those work over our bulbs. I don't think painting them would work because of heat and making the bulb break. Anyone got any ideas. The lenses are OK being clear, just need the bulbs to be colored.
Thanks |

Don't suppose you got this in writing, BTW... The cop on the street has his own version of 'the law' and chances are, your guy won't be there when you need to get your equipment violation signed off. Expect to be hassled over this (or some other aspect) of the car. It comes with the territory of having something 'different.' Maintain a positive attitude, try to use it as an educational tool, but it may be a waste of time trying to change the mind of the guy/gal who pulled you over. Just say you'll get it attended to right away and then KEEP A PHOTOCOPY of the signed off violation for when it happens again... |
