Ticket for Yellow Headlights
-
I see nothing in there prohibiting the use of amber headlights, other than the part that says "nor shall any person drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon
any highway with any lamp or device displaying a red light or any colored light other than those
required or permitted in this chapter."I'd argue that any old sealed beam incandescent headlights (non-HID or Halogen) will emit a yellowish light when on. Also, since "white" light is a combination of ALL colors in the light spectrum, it is physically impossible to drive with any lights on that are not emitting colors.

yellow is a color
Subd. 2. Colored light. Unless otherwise authorized by the commissioner of public safety,
no vehicle shall be equipped, nor shall any person drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon
any highway with any lamp or device displaying a red light or any colored light other than those
required or permitted in this chapter.Where does it say that yellow is not permitted? It says Red, Blue and strobe lights.

Where does it say its permitted? It doesnt say brown lights are not permitted does that mean they are legal?

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. -
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.

Were you on a highway? What is the city's law in regard to this?
I was on 8th, so technically it was Highway 75... -

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...

I use Stock Wattage Halogen bulbs in my OEM Housings. -
Didn't know having the best headlights for driving in extreme white conditions made you a saftey nut. Better bust out those old shitty bulbs guys.
