Do you require amber corner lamps in BC? I think the answer is yes but..has anyone ever gotten pulled over because of having "clear corners" I think they're called. I imagine it wouldn't be too much of an issue. What I'm referring to is buying this LED turn signal kit. 2015 Ford Mustang Switchback Turn Signal LED Kit - Mustang Ecoboost - Ford - Bulbs By Vehicle - Lighting Btw, mustang arrived! I'll post pics if it ever stops raining. So yeah wondering if this is legal, turning my turn signal area all clear/white LED unless I use a turn signal, in which case it turns amber again. edit: can I set up a signature? if so how? or not allowed until I reah a certain number of posts. went throughprofile and didn't see an option. |
:rukidding: |
i have clear corners and never had an issue but then again i'd be pulled over for other things :pokerface: |

The bulb is required to be amber, as well as an amber reflector. The entire housing doesn't have to be amber, so long as the two items mentioned are followed. |
|
perfect. thanks. |

Apparently there's an amber reflector in the headlight though I haven't seen it personally yet...maybe i wasn't looking for it? That should be ok then? |
Figured I'd ask here so I don't get crucified for flooding the boards. Has anyone gotten pulled over for their headlight HID color? Specifically 8000, 10000, or 12000k? Or do they pretty much not care. |
No, but anything above 6000 looks stupid and not functional imo |

The OSRAM CBI's, which are 5k, are arguably the best bulbs on the market for light output and colour. 10k and 12k bulbs are very blue, and yes you will be hassled for having them. I know an individual with 12k bulbs and he has been bothered atleast once for them. |

And yes these are the USDM headlights. Note that the halogen 323i has an orange bulb which kind of reflects orange into the reflectors, however the 328i+ had LED turn signals that don't light up orange as far as I'm aware unless the turn signal is activated. http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...k/DSC00381.jpg http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o...S/000_0018.jpg With that being said, I know for a fact that the halogens on the 323i had the signals light up when the headlights were turned on, because back when I drove the 323i I had it coded to get rid of the signals and make the angel eyes into the DRLs like the 328i+ |
Since we're talking about VI'able offences. I'll just mention I got my first box 2 the other day! Day after I picked up my brand new car, because my front windows were tinted (dealership did it as it was a showroom car). If anyone knows me they will find this quite comical/ironic considering the jank mobiles i've driven in the past and never had a ticket/VI |
They're pretty strict about front tint here from what I've heard/seen. |
Sorry for bumping an old ass thread but I need to know... I’m replacing my front amber corner lamps with clear ones on an e46, thus removing the amber reflector. Is this legal at all in BC? I have noticed other e46s on the road with this slight cosmetic mod but am unsure if I’ll get a ticket for it. |

I've got a set of brand new clear ones for e46 coupe (clip in type) in the FS forum here. Quote:

iirc, and as long as they haven't changed the section of MVAR regarding lighting and reflectors since the last time i read it a few months ago, it's just like how most of us are aware that you need front side marker lamps and retroreflectors. The MVAR state the front side marker lamp shall be amber or white. Whereas the CVSE inspection manual states amber only. So... having white front side markers are... legal. But won't pass an inspection. Lol Edit: I went to look it up and confirmed amber reflectors for front sides and rear reflectors red Quote:

looks like I need a new bumper with the reflectors, can't afford to be harassed by cops LOL |
Quote:
You can easily obtain an SAE/DOT certified adhesive reflector to substitute/supplant the original reflector I should mention that it should be a hard plastic retroreflector, not the label type |

Something like this, Blazer B178SAW Amber Stick-on Reflector-1 Pair https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004L0AC30/..._3BcIDb9CCFYTY You can also easily find it in the trailer lighting aisle at Canadian Tire, Princess Auto, etc... |
