    Where does it say that yellow is not permitted? It says Red, Blue and strobe lights.

            Where does it say that White headlights are permited, or HID(blue, purple, etc)s are permitted. Its an arguable subject, which is why I am going to fight it.

                  Does the light housing just have to be DOT approved or the actual light bulb itself aswell?

                    It doesn't specify, thats what pisses me off. All these laws were probably written during sealed beam days...

                      Ok, idk about moorhead. but it's well known in fargo that there legal, laways have been and the fargo attorney made note of it. Because ALL yellow headlight tickets were overturned when an officer was presented with them and explained there purpose.

                      So... Good luck fighting it.

                          The best known way to generate white light is by the process called incandescence, by a black body at various relatively-high temperatures. For example, the color of a black body at a temperature of 2,848 kelvin matches that produced by domestic incandescent light bulbs. It is said that the color temperature of such a light bulb is 2,848 K.[who?] The white light used in theatre illumination has a color temperature of about 3,200 K. Daylight can vary from a cool red up to a bluish 5,600 K. Not all black body radiation can be considered white light: the background radiation of the universe, to name an extreme example, is only a few kelvin and is quite invisible.

                          Maybe Chucks onto something. My headlights are 2500 Kelvin.

                                  well if your yellow lights are HIDs then they are illegal and i wouldn't try to fight it then but if they are hallogens then i would say fight it using some sources about how the visible light spectrum goes from yellow (most visible) all the way to a purple blue (least visible)....i think yellow fogs are great but not for headlights they are annoying....i have seen 3-4 cars around here with all yellow and i hate it you look like a safety nut not to mention ricey

                                    I'd say fight it.. you'd be out what, a few minutes of your time... Just try to think of a really good argument, shouldnt be too hard the wording is so vague, since it doesn't clearly state yellow lights are prohibited... You probably could just say it doesn't say it anywhere's...

                                          This.

                                          My truck is as ricey as a colorado can get. I even have a Licensce plate fram that says "I Heart JDM". I was driving around on Christmas eve and christmas day blowing snow, and the last thing I want is for someone not to be able to see my truck.
