So I got pulled over today because I had my new LED halos on, note they're RGB ColorMorph and I had them set to blue. The cop said they have to be white to be legal, which isn't a big deal because I can make them any color I want.
But I was wondering if anyone else in PA has run into any issues using colored halos or LED lighting that isn't a "stock color"?

Granted, he was also just being a dick by pulling me over, as I've driven by cops in my hometown multiple times with them set on different colors and haven't gotten pulled over yet. Whatever, not a big deal.

Only legal colors up front are Amber and White.
LEO's discretion. Yer only calling him a d1ck because you were caught. Please note that from his perspective Y'all were in the wrong, lol. Take responsibility and OWN IT.

Above post cleaned up a little........and I agree that kind of headlight mod is highly illegal, so the rest of his response stays......and I am LEO (retired) and I am going to let you call the officer who wrote you in your post a derogatory name......but, you deserved the ticket....own it, and change your headlights to something legal.
Only LEO's are allowed to have blue lights anywhere on the outside of their cars --- if you think about it, there's a very good reason for that.

And I didn't get a ticket. I got a warning, however he disregarded that as well once I told him I was able to change them to white or amber in color, and he was fine with that. You see Lexus and BMW among other car companies coming out with factory white halos in their headlights, so I shouldn't be pulled over for them being white. And yes, I understand it's to the discretion of the LEO.
Thanks for your input!

I completely understand that, and I am owning it. I knew when I installed these that I was going to run the risk of being pulled over. I tested the waters and I failed, no big deal. I was simply asking if anyone else in PA ran into the same issue. I didn't install these for the pure sake of having colored halos, they're also HID projectors as well which is the main reason I got them. Could care less about the halos.
