Will Cops Harrass Me For This?

I came up with this idea...

If I were to do corner light brake ducts... http://www.fordracingparts.com/Musta..._FR500S_v1.pdf

Can my car still be legal with mirror blinkers?

*EDIT*

I forgot to mention that I have a CDC spoiler and turbo plumbing which would make using any standard brake cooling duct kit impossible to use without the right fabrication.

I'd smoke them or paint them black so people wouldn't think they were actually lights :P

You mean the mirror blinkers? That's a good idea

[Stangman Jonathan]

yes that too but I meant if you convert your turning lights on your front bumper into ducts...painted them black or smoke them out as well so they aren't visible and probably will reduce the chance of you being questioned about them.

is this your daily driver,im geussing yes or you woudnt ask about the cops, but where would your blinkers be if you took out the bulbs

see my response in kevins thread but short answer is probably

Found this searching for you - not at work but here ya go...

39:3-44 Vehicle in unsafe condition
39:3-47 Improper lighting equipment; altering equipment
39:3-49 Inadequate headlights
39:3-50 Unauthorized use of certain colored lights
39:3-51 Improper auxiliary driving lamps
39:3-52 Improper additional lighting equipment and use thereof
39:3-53 Improper spot lamps
39:3-54 Miscellaneous improper lights
39:3-55 Improper operation with alternate road lighting equipment
39:3-56 Operating without at least two front lighted lamps
39:3-57 Improper single beam lighting
39:3-58 Improper multiple beam headlights
39:3-59 No light beam indicator
39:3-60 Improper use of high and low headlight beams
39:3-61 Failure to equip motor vehicle w/ lamps and reflectors required
39:3-61.1 Improper mounting of lamps and reflectors
39:3-61.2 Improper combination of lighting devices and reflectors
39:3-61.3 Improper stop lamps

Now, are you talking about doing away with your marker lights and just use those mirror lights for directionals? If so the police won't harrass you...they will rightfully ticket you. If you were just ADDING those along with the directionals, I doubt you'll have a problem. I HIGHLY doubt you will pass NJ state inspection as well.

(NONE OF THIS IS LEGALLY BINDING, THIS IS MY OPINION, I WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH NJ STATE INSPECTION/DMV AND YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT)

i dont understand why you would need these anyway unless your racing

Yes, it's my daily driver.

O.P. asked:

Steeda makes a nice kit but unless you have the Steeda front facia you'll have to fab up that end... I've still got the kit in the box waiting for my front brakes to finally go... I'll let you know how I fab it up to my stock GT bumper when the time gets there...

Drivers in front would still be able to see me from the mirror blinkers

I forgot to mention that I have intercooler plumbing with a CDC spoiler. I don't know if anything can be fabricated because of the plumbing.

I will update it now



Please do keep me posted on how your steeda fabrication works out.

Thanks for the search.

Yes, I would be doing away the front blinkers and only using the mirror lights as directionals. I think a cop would have to be very observant since it's such a subtle mod. Also my chances of getting caught would rise when using my blinker.

You're right, I think talking with my local NJ inspection would be best but I think I know what the answer to that would be

I do plan on taking it to the road coarse

[Hotshot]

i think a cop would ticket you if you didn't have a blinker up front. I would if i was a cop. thats just unsafe to everyone else.
