For car enthusiasts, modifying your car is a tremendous joy. I happen to be one of these enthusiasts. It has come to my attention that driving with a lot of certain kinds and styles of lighting, is illegal in most cases. Though I am a supporter of all law enforcment branches and emergency service providers, some of these laws almost have no reason for them having to be made in the first place. Although I have spoken to 3 seperate officers of the CHP prior to making this petition, all of which said it was illegal to have those lights period, none could cite me a specific violation of the vehicle code (one even quoted me the wrong chapter it was in). I could be wrong that there is nothing that specifically makes mention or reference to it (and if I am, I would appreciate anyone letting me know). Signing this petition is saying that you wish to: Be able to add any under car lighting (that does not project in any direction other than down), That is any color, and is able to be in operation while in all modes of operation with the vehicle. I thank you for time and hope you help in changing the law of our community. Please only sign if a resident in the state of California only (otherwise your signature is void).

I am still digging through the actual vehicle code to find the exact rules they keep citing. More confusion from officials is the only response so far.

The momentum is building faster than I ever anticipated. It is clear that we are all tired of the vague enforcement and want some actual clarity.

My car looks so much better with lights. why is this illegal if they point at the ground? total overreach.

Ridiculous that cops cant even tell me the code. they just want to harass anyone with an aftermarket part. let us have our fun.

If a cop cant cite the code they shouldnt be allowed to write the ticket. simple as that.
