Legality of 3000/3500K Low Beams?
I'm thinking of doing a full 3000k conversion for my GS and am wondering the legality of putting them in as my low beams. I've done a few searches on Google and have found conflicting answers. Anyone know?

Here's the Florida Statute that says so if anyone cares for it...

My friend got pulled over here for having yellow lights, the cop said it was because emergency vehicles use yellow lights. Is that right? I thought they were just regular halogens.

If you already have HID I say go for it. If you get a ticket it will just be a "Fix It" ticket. Throw your OE bulbs in, get your ticket signed off, and pay the small fee. Getting pulled over probably depends more on the area you are in more then the mod itself. Just my opinion. I am not sure if the Fix It tickets are as easy to handle in Florida as they are here in Cali.

If your concern is for visibility, I suggest getting a pair of 4300K for your low beams, and if possible, get some 3000K for your fogs. In my opinion that would be the best for visibility (and legality since the Florida statutes do not say anything about fog light color). Do not put HID's in your high beams because that will significantly reduce the life span if they are turned on and off constantly. Unless you usually keep high beams turned on for a long time.

This is also due to the fact that truck have their lights pointed right in your rear view mirror. If shine my high power Flash light right in your rear view mirror you will be blinded too.
