A California Highway Patrol officer pulled me over the other day for having "illegal tail lights." He said they were "too dark" and "hard to see."
I couldn't believe it, expecially since it was still daylight, (7 PM), and I was driving with my headlamps! I explained that my SC has the original equipment tail lights which are DOT approved for sale in all 50 states. He was very rude and said something like, "oh so just because Honda sells it that way, it's okay to break the law?" "Those are illegal in California."
He told me he was going to write me a ticket, took my license and registration, and went back to his car. After 5 long minutes he came back and said that he was not going to give me a ticket because I had bought the car that way, but that it was illegal and that I should expect to get pulled over a lot.
Anyone else had any problems with their SC tail lights?
