Question about lighting regulation....

[wuitsung]

Is blue day time running light illegal? how about slightly blue? and does it has to be bight? what should be the output? where can I get them? It would be nice if someone can shoe me their mod.

And how about HID? I heard above 8000k is illegal... is that true?

Also how about side marker? did anyone change them?

Thanx!!

Depends on your state codes. I would check with where you live. Each state, county and country has different rules and regs. 8000K is legal where I live, so is tint.

Ok. Thanx!! By the way, do you know where is the day time running light on EX35? I checked the manual, but didn't find it. I only see "Clearance light" #1 .... is that the DTRL???? (Please check the picture)

And DTRL only will be on when the car is moving? When I park the car (P), I don't see it on...

Hi Rio, can you post your car's picture with all lights on?And where did you get your parking light? is it the clearance light you are talking about? (The one next to High beam)

As far as I know, your DRL are #6, so- called fog lights. They are the one going on as soon as you turn on the engine. Hope its helped.

Yes, 6 or fog light is functioning as DRL.

DRL module for Canadian model produces full power for DRL, you won't need to bypass for HID foglight.

As for the regulation, any aftermarket HID installed on car is illegal.However, there are more cars with HID as standard or optional from factory, don't need to worry about it.

DRL is working during day time, which means it's almost impossible to tell the color temp with bare eyes. With a projector, color temp tends to look higher. (6000k with projector is bluer than 6000k w/o projector)

I've been using HID-DRL for over an year, had no problem so far.

Hope it helps.
