need some help from a fellow PWP

Whats up guys, you may or may not know that I received a ticket for my 6k Hids (I know it sounds like a joke when you read it) but anyway for whatever reason I have to make an appearance in court which makes no sense because there are no points for the ticket and I just want to pay it, but these moronic secretaries insist that in NJ the statute for this improper lighting offense requires a court appearance which again makes no sense because all I am going to do is plead guilty and pay the ticket anyway but to make a long story short.....


if anyone with a white RL has stock hids can do me the favor and snap a few pics leaving the license plate out so I can bring them with me and just say its my car and that I changed them it would be greatly appreciated

So a cop had a color temperature reader or spectrometer to tell if they were 6000K or did he just say they were blue?

I'm sorry but this don't make no sense at all. This lights give different color effect depending from what angle you see. Is it possible the officer gave you a ticket for your HID fogs and not the main lights. I wish I can help considering I also own a white RL but my lights are 6000 kelvin. Again there's no way the officer could tell if they're 4300 kelvin or 6000k. Do you have any night pictures with your lights on. Good luck in court and please keep us posted.

If I were you, I'll do my research and have a good combat for my defense. Here in Maryland the officer can give you either a warning or a repair order and after the repair gets completed you can take it to the nearest inspection station or any police officer can sign it. Take a trip at the same road and time he pulled you over and walk couple feet away and see if the lights look dark blue. My lights look bluish,white mix with purple.

I'm driving with 8k low beams 100% of the time for the past 2 years, never an issue.

Getting a ticket at 10am for lights is pretty retarded.
