Someone was telling me tonight that Virgina has a law coming out that lighting on cars that is not factory is illegal whether it is dot/sae approved or not...(Euros, clear corners, jdm conversions...junk like that) Just wonderin if anyone else has hurd of it....i was also told that if a person is to get more than 3 tickets their car will be impounded...this really sucks ass if it is true
if anyone has any info on this send me a link so i can read up on it

Technically speaking anything other then the EXACT STOCK OEM parts on your car are illegal. Its a bs law, but most cops arent extremely by the book. But to answer your question......(Euros, clear corners, jdm conversions...junk like that) = illegal.
And the 3 ticket = impound is not true. Im sure many have had those nights, me included, when a cop feels he needs to list everything wrong. They do not take your car. If its 3 moving violations that would be a different story.

i dont think a jdm conversion would be illegal. or at least it would be fightable. technically, it is made up of all OEM parts, just not usdm OE parts. i dont think anywhere in the law states rather the parts have to be us market OE or not.

Im tired of the whining about "cops never pull harleys or domestics". Anything other than stock is illegal right, NEWS FLASH a harley's loud exhaust is STOCK. As for not pulling domestics, the # of people doing dumb shit in domestics is far fewer that idiots in imports buurning out and doing doughnuts so of course the cops are gonna be bias. That is the way of life, deal with it.

Considering that japanse headlights aim the wrong way, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd get crap for them.
