Something besides your lights must have caught his attention. No front plate maybe? Speeding? following to close?

I live in NJ myself and drive around all over the place with no front plate and havent gotten pulled over yet. But I obey all the laws!

that is true, when i go to ac i stay at a steady 78-80 and never had a problem and i have no front plate

maybe you were PoPpin MaD VteC SoN!1!1!1.......................

i changed out my stock 4300k for 5000k... i prefer the white color over the slightly yellow stock.... no problem so far...

and on top of that, i have no front plate... of course i dont drive like a hoodlum so no problems so far... even if i do get pulled over, my gold fop card usually takes care of it no problem

he's only running 6k which are pure white with possibly slight tint of blue.

You're thinking in the 12k+ range.

I agree with you but I've reduced to 5 over as most NC police pull starting at 9+ over posted. On free-way I go with the flow of traffic. I be damned if ill be the sore thumb out of a group of 20..lol. Thats just stupid. This is something i always did on free-way. Even at 16.

I have a solution to your problem. Call the administrator office and ask if they accept cash payments. If yes go there with 5,400 pennies and dump that on the counter.

haha I like you you say "12k+" to try and omit yourself from the category of drivers that everyone here is complaining about. The 8k and 10k bulbs that you have are part of the reason that more cops are writing tickets for it.

Anything above 6k is the awful ricer blue/purple/pink color, period. You don't put 8k or 10k bulbs in your car for performance, they're for looks. If you don't believe me, go over the hidplanet.com forums and ask the gurus over there.
