Lights are supposed to be white (or yellow??)... worth checking on perhaps. heheheheh .... three young lads in my town were put off the road last Sat night for exactly that ... and a few other things after the cops took all their cars to the station and thoroughly checked them over.During this time of the year a lot of out of town cops come in to "help" the locals so they don't discriminate between the local boys and the holidaymakers.Oh well, if they persist in roaring up and down public car parks and drawing attention to themselves they deserve what they get IMO.

AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 22y 30d Posted 30/12/02 11:27 AM Share Posted 30/12/02 11:27 AM Lights, the young and cops -my story is of my 18 yr old son, KH Laser lowered 1.8 injected heaven, driving donw the Pacific Highway at 10pm in the evening. With some fluro light he had rigged up in the interior on. Don't laugh - the week before he took to thje roof with an angle grinder and made himself a 'moon roof'.The Police Oficer asks if the small blue spot lights werethe cause of the bright light in the interior of the car. No says the boy. And then escapes a defect on the really stupid cause of the mobile UFO.Pitty me - we are now intop the second day of the second major respray of his car. Wish the useless dude was into bikes like his old man. Less rubbing back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 22y 30d Posted 30/12/02 11:54 AM Share Posted 30/12/02 11:54 AM Chris,Blood is thicker than water, right. He has a Laser that is multi coloured awaiting the spray gun in two days time. He is doing it all with his own money (made from delivering Pizzas after school). And the clincher is - he is better with his hands on this sort of project than I am.Sure. I'm a proud Dad. It's one of those things guys. You got to live toi enjoy it.

The Mechanic (who is a friend of mine) and works for Ford told me that the fog lights are one piece and you cant change the globes.. can anyone confirm?

($15 a pair). They are a white light, but can appear blue from certain angles. They were a vast improvement over standard ones.The last time I changed the headlights, I got Opti Blue xenon filled globes. They were like $9 each from supercheap auto.
