I don't understand what people have against amber? Did you honestly think that blue signal lights were legal?

Anyhow, change them back to stock amber, take it to court and tell them you changed them and you should get the ticket reduced.

just wait till you get a ticket for those...$110 for not having $2 amber bulbs...silly if you ask me...its the law to have amber corner lights/reflectors on the front of your car

Stupid cops, eh? Take 5 minutes out of your day and take a look at the Highway Traffic Act. Save yourself lots of trouble.

If you have time challenge the ticket..

TTC buses have blue lights and they are not snow removal vehicles..

A member succesfully defended him self on a similar ticket a year back..

TTC buses use the blue lights on the highway to indicate that they are a slower less agile vehicle...and they arent blinking as snow removal does

Also TTC buses do not use blue lights for their turn signals.
