Yeah its bs. Technically if the retarded cops in Michigan were to read the state law, amber turn signals in the rear of the car is illegal, and alot of factory cars come with amber rear signals. According to the michigan vehicle code the only aloud color for rear signals is red.

Disagree. I wanted HID's but didn't want ugly ricer projectors. I don't think I should be fined. But I have mine pointed down and turn on my low beams, which aren't HID's, when someone else drives by. I do think people who have them pointed pretty much at the same level as high beams, and keep them on even when someone else drives by should be though. That's just annoying and dangerous for others.

I'd feel more comfortable believing the whole article if it had quoted some actual words by the judge or court documents; but by quoting what the "offender"/plaintiff's summary of the case is rather bias isn't it? personally I don't think the article is that credible

btw, after reading some comments of the article, it seems that the guy did actually modify the tail lights, which makes the cop/judge's rule legitimate (but maybe the reason given not so convincing)
