Travelling along last night and got pulled now I though it was for pulling away a bit sharpish from a round about but no, reason my headlights were yellow and not legal as they were not white, so told him to go recheck his motoring law and I quoted the MOT testers manual, Sadly my argument was cut short by a untaxed car setting off the Cops ANPR and he obviously decided that it was an easier/more guaranteed target, said he would look it up and shot off.

So if you are running yellow lights make sure you know the wording in the book.

The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989

SCHEDULE 5

REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO OBLIGATORY MAIN-BEAM HEADLAMPS AND TO OPTIONAL MAIN-BEAM HEADLAMPS TO THE EXTENT SPECIFIED IN PART II

7. Colour:

White or yellow

yellow lights illegal?!? only the majority of the cars on the road have them in

dude was clearly on a power trip!

I bet you sounded so cool

Erm, i don't think soooo....

the rule is.....

Was literally like that. Been a while since I've had a clueless copper to play with.

Matt: Mine actually are yellow, not that 3year old halogen bulb/dirty plastic lens yellow but 3000k golden yellow HID yellow

Yellow lenses, not bulbs...

I have Clear lenses, Clear bulbs but Yellow Light.

God I love HID's

Ignore the glare in the light on pic, it was taken before I removed the fly-eyes film.

reason for failure:

section d:

d. if intended to be one of a matched pair emits light of substantially the same colour as its counterpart (either white or yellow) Note: in a four headlamp system the outer pair of headlamps need not emit the same colour light as the inner pair. is the same size is correctly positioned Note: The measurement of the precise position of headlamps is not part of the inspection, but check visually that the lamps, are at about the same height, and the same distance inboard from the side of the vehicle
