Are Chrome Bulbs Legal in Your State?

By David Ostiguy

You're probably planning on adding chrome bulbs to your vehicle, but you're not quite sure whether they're legal or not. If you've read up on chrome bulbs on the internet, you'll see that everybody says that they're street legal, but then you may have heard that some of the items who claim to be DOT (Department of Transportation) Approved usually doesn't mean squat when you get pulled over by the Police.

When it comes to adding modification bulbs to your vehicle, keep in mind that it is illegal to add red and blue bulbs to your car. Unless if you car is named KITT, you shouldn't add a red light to the front of your vehicle. It's mandatory that you also have amber turn signal bulbs and running lights installed to your vehicle. This law does apply to all 50 states of the United States of America.

So will your chrome bulbs keep you from getting pulled over? Will the installed chrome bulbs meet the required guidelines to keep you out of trouble? Always remember that each state and country varies when it comes to traffic laws, but as long as your blinker lights shine amber when they're on, you shouldn't have any problems whatsoever.

Stealth Auto has created a chrome bulb that knocks the socks off of all the other bulbs out there. They blend in with no hint of yellow in the bulb. Once the turn signal is turned on, the bulb shines amber. Stealth Auto bulbs are approved by the DOT, but as I said before, remember that this usually doesn't mean anything to the Police when they're pulling you over.

Be sure to check the state auto laws and regulations in the state that you live in. It's advised to check for the information you're looking for at DMV.ORG.

Remember when it comes to other vehicle modifications, such as HID Headlights, the laws are different in each state. - 21396
