Are sequential tail lights legal? Thinking about installing these sequential tail lights. Are they street legal in Vancouver BC ? |
2013 Mustangs come stock with sequential turn signals. I don't see why these wouldn't be. |
^^^ Was going to say the same thing as above, I see them on other cars as well installed aftermarket. |
In they go, thanks guys. |
Does it say DOT approved? If yes, legal. If no, not legal. Simple. Berz out. Posted via RS Mobile |
Yes, the newer model Mustangs have them, but they are not exactly the same as the aftermarket units. The OEM mustang sequential lights are designed with several factors of visibility considered, and compatibility with Vehicle law requirements in Canada and the USA. The aftermarket units might not meet these requirements. Seeing them installed on other cars does NOT mean it's legal, it just means someone is taking a risk. If the lights do not meet any of the relevant requirements, they are not legal, and therefore you risk getting a Vehicle Inspection ordered. Even if the shop you use deems them legal, you may still get VI after VI from officers who don't believe they are legal. Quote:

because often times, if it's not stock = illegal some exotic cars come with 4.5 inch diameter exhaust, but if you put that on Civic, you'll get a ticket for it. same goes with HIDs, coilovers, wheels, airbags, recaros, etc. |

because we have Transport Canada here. |

Also on 2013 Mustang GTs, there were no foglights in the grille for 2013, but moved to the bumper because of Transport Canada. The Ford GT(Supercar) had different bumpers in Canada and the USA because of Transport Canada. |

:rukidding: Not at all how that works. Police forum advice at it's finest. Quote:
It will be very evident to a peace officer that you have aftermarket taillight bulbs, if not because of the sequential turn signal which wasn't factory offered until recently but because they will "will look up to five times brighter than stock lights". I can pretty much guarantee that they aren't legal, but like most of the dubious modifications done by people here, will likely not become an issue unless you drive like a d-bag or have other modifications done to the vehicle. I went three years without a front license plate without being ticketed by not driving like an a-hole around town but I was under no illusions that what I was doing is illegal. Same situation. Go ahead and install it but don't cry to us if you get VI'd for it. |

Dammit! You're no fun at all, i'm telling LE you told me to do it. :p The stock lights are hard to see in full sunlight. First VI, if, and it's back to stock. |

They came stock on 1965 Thunderbirds, if you really want them, risk it. |

I also believe that the 1967 Cougar also had them, if I recall correctly. Ford was marketing the Cougar as kind of a Mustang/TBird cross and combined some of the features. |
Keep in mind guys, all these cars with sequential tail lights, do it with multiple bulbs in multiple sockets... what you're talking about here is essentially one big fancy "bulb". It's not the same thing, and you can't say that just because cars X, Y and Z have it, means that this thing is legal. Doesn't mean it isn't, either... just saying it's apples and kumquats. Also, remember that the proper REFLECTORS in your light fixtures are a LEGAL REQUIREMENT. Whether this LED thing is legal on its own, if it's blocking the reflectors, then you may have an issue. |

BTW....for younger RS'ers....a 67 Cougar was a car....not the average age of those chicks that hit on you in the downtown bars.....or maybe it is? |
