Pictures are good as proof.

Good luck dude. Which is why 6k LEDs and HID is the max I'll go.

You take the pictures your self any ware, I am not sure where you need to go, call up should be a number on the ticket.

I saw someone in 954 who has Blue clearance bulb lights, wonder if its you :O

It's a "fix-it ticket" which means if you fix what they got you for, you'll be good to go. You'll probably still have to pay the fine but it won't go on your record.

You can take your car to the police station if you want so they can look at it and sign off that you fixed it, then mail the payment to the court or pay in person.

I don't think it matters where you live. A fix-it ticket is like a parking ticket. Pay it and it's over with. The only tickets that count against your record are moving violations and fix-it tickets != moving violations.

Amber/orange must be the color of the bulb when lite from the side markers with all 50 states. reason we ( I'm in line to be police officer ) can site for it, is that officers know all side markers are suppose to be amber when lights are on. but clearance strips was a bonus for the cop.... we have to prove if it's OEM so it's harder to prove

blue lights are reserved for police vehicles...if your lights flicker at all they could slap you with a "imitating a police officer" as well

Typically on a fix it ticket, if you haven't ever had one, you can fix it and show proof then take it to a police station and they will take care of it. Normally I've seen people do this with no out of pocket.

New to me but I thought even a fix it ticket can be taken to court if you believe the infraction was wrong. You need to check the VC code on the ticket and read up on what your state allows.
