I have had mine light blue here in IL for a while now, no trouble with cops, but I do have the factory HID's.

its actually illegal to have any type of light that even remotely looks like you could be impersonating an emergency vehicle (i.e. red/blue on the front end or blue on the rear end)

idk if its as strict anywhere else but i know in RI you should only have amber or white on the front, and red amber or white on the rear. We're also limited to 2 sets of forward lights (i.e. one set of headlights and one set of foglights) so the ricers with the washer sprayer lights get nailed all the time.

Gotta agree, it's just an easy excuse to pull you over, I try to make them work for it. If they want to stop you, they will regardless of whether you actually did anything. I know I'm not the only one who's been stopped 100 times with the old "you were swerving a little bit back there" line. I do my best not to give them something as blatant as blue bulbs or real dark tint as their excuse.

So if I'm looking for an L.E.D refractor wedge bulb (Yellow) what bulb type am I looking for? If someone can help me out or provide a link I'd appreciate it. Maybe a 5 LED refractor bulb.

They don't make yellow LEDs for some reason. Best match with the fogs are PIAA yellow wedge bulbs.

194/168. 921 also fits, but it's a higher wattage bulb.
