Default GA DOT law regarding parking/driving light colors

Any cops out there or someone who can actually find the law regarding the color required for these lights.

Is it required to be amber?

I drove around with clear corners for almost 3 1/2 yrs and never met one cop that gave a ****. Unless you're acting like a total moron and give them a reason, they've got bigger fish to fry usually. Will also depend on the county you live in too. Gwinnett county cops dont care..

The laws says they have to be "clear to amber" in color. That's straight out of Gwinnett County traffic law.

what if they are just a little bit red? As in red LED parking/driving lights. Don't see how they could be sold if they are illegal.

Sorry, I had to get a little toyota for the long trip from woodstock to duluth and I just couldn't drive a plane old car. So I am turning my little yaris into a rally car. NOT A Fart and the Furious car. Still have the muscle cars, just needed something that didn't use up almost 1/2 a tank each day using premium.

If you can't make it go fast, make it look good...

Your a funny bitch Although it does ring true BUT it will be paid off in Nov. with under 25K on it. If my son Hunter doesn't become a car nut,after disowning him I might just tuck it away for 15-20 years and see whats up. Hell after 5 years everytime I go out to the garage I still like the look of these things.
