Amber (yellow) fog lights illegal in mass?

Anyone know the color laws for mass fog/headlights ? Can’t find much info. Thanks.

 

First question. Are the lights in question DOT approved for use on the road?

The bigger issue would be the use of non dot pods or fogs on the road. Pretty sure amber is not illegal in mass for fog lights though.

edit: alot of info on here talking about the difference in the light beam pattern between the different lights available. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-led-sae-j583-fog-pod-fog-light-review.554813/

 

Lol. @Bruce988jl

 

They’re the Baja squadron sae version I was under the impression they were dot approved but I got a fix it citation today when I was pulled over.

 

its because baja design "sae" is actually not SAE and are garbage as fuck. check crashnburns threads on sae fogs

 

Will do thank you.

LOL this is gold! i didn't expect this, never seen the movie.

 

I've seen people stopped in Mass for something as simple as replacing their amber turn signal with a clear one.

 

According to the statie in NH that pulled me over you can't have yellow fogs. Didn't bother arguing but just thought it was interesting. Never had an issue with amber or yellow in MA.... All my cars have had yellow fogs.

 

Yeah it is a pretty strict state. Funny thing is I passed inspection last weekend. Can’t say I’m surprised it was the hi lo across from the Chinese food place on Main Street. Gotta love Webster well atleast try to.

 

I run amber, never been pulled over for it.

 

Pics can be deceiving with light sources, but I'd be willing to bet be had a problem with the brightness and used the color as an excuse to get you to change them. I believe those particular Baja fogs had an issue with too much light bleeding out above the intended beam pattern.

 

You were pulled over because they were blinding, if they were pointed down enough you would have no problem. If you blinded the cop tickets follow ; -) or the cop is a dick... we have that problem too

 

no way you can aim these baja designs "SAE" (actually not sae) fogs. they're known for having shit glare above the cut off line and in the picture he is well above the height of the fogs 10 feet in front of his truck lol.

 

Apparently the state website is so shitty that instead of hosting the laws they link to some 3rd party websites for the legality of vehicle modification

Forward your ticket to Baja Designs.

 

I’ve done it with multiple vehicles and never had an issue

 

What was the law listed on the citation?
