Lamin-X for front Headlights I am purchasing a Lamin-X kit for my front headlights. I am getting a LIGHT smoke tint for my car because it is silver and am not really worried about that. However, I also wanted to get something for my brother's car. He has a white car and I was planning of getting him yellow or white lamin-x for his front headlights. Are there any legal problems with tinting your headlights? The LIGHT output will remain the same, it's simply for aesthetic purposes. Here is an example of a white car with yellow lamin-x |
White is the only legal color for headlights in BC. Anything that reduces the light output AT ALL is illegal. Even a light smoke will reduce light output, even if it's not noticeable to you. |
sounds good, thanks |

Do you want to hang out in my car to be an objective 3rd party telling this to drivers when they start arguing about how they've had it for years, so it must be legal? |
Well that means having eyelids for your headlights are also illegal. |

I think he's catching on! :D |
eyelids are ugly... |
Yea I know, my point was just that we see them so often, yet they're illegal. |
You see lots of illegal things all the time - front tint, underglows, HID retrofits, white taillights, driving lights used as foglights... And guys will argue every one of them with the excuse, "Everyone else does it, so it can't be illegal!" |

No you're wrong. People don't ARGUE that. They assume that. That's why smart people will come into the POLICE forum and ask the question before doing something. |

Smart people will come in here and ask and then learn something from the advice. Unfortunately, most are not so smart and will come in here and ask, and when they get an answer they don't like, will also trot out the "Everyone else does it, so it can't be illegal!" argument. Don't believe me? Every other regular in this forum will tell you the same thing. The mods will tell you the same thing. Guys come in here regularly looking for justification for their ricey mods and then when they're given facts that don't support them, will argue and debate and fight against those facts til they're blue in the face (or fingers, as the case may be). And "my buddy did it to his car and never got stopped for it" is by far their most common excuse. |

I must be new? I've been here since 2004. Perhaps new to the Police section of this forum, but who gives a shit. I'm not everyone and I never once said "everyone else does it so it must be illegal." I simply implied that one would assume that isn't illegal because you see it being done so commonly. Whether or not OTHER people come in here and use the excuse "of my friend had it so it must be legal" is irrelevant and off-topic because the OP never said anything of that nature. |
People don't come in here and ask before doing something... they come in here to ask how to fight the ticket after the fact. And we usually give them no sympathy :) |

so are mugen headlights covers illegal too? hmmmmm i didn't know mugen made anything that was illegal. |
The point being is that I DONT Have a ticket for this because my headlights are clear. I was thinking of doing it so I posted here to get the appropriate ADVICE. NOT to be scrutinized by anybody. I've been here long enough on revscene to be able to ask something politely and to receive an answer without scrutiny and assumptions. I NEVER once argued that it should be illegal. I SIMPLY said that since I see it so often, THAT IS WHY I THOUGHT IT WAS. Posted in here, found out, problem solved. Any other discussion about people making excuses it totally irrelevant and I don't see why it's being brought up? |
^ just admit it.. soundy got u a lil LOL ANYWAYS good 2 noe i cant smoke my head lights.. does that include tail lights too? |
