He was joking. Everything is illegal in Virginia, no matter how innocuous. |

Just curious, what car do you drive where the signal lights are the same bulb as the reverse lights? Only setup I've ever seen like that was on export-market 60's era Studebakers. Incidentally, that's a good way to confuse people at swap meets, show up with some amber colored backup light lenses (actually fairly easy to find, as there seem to be more of them left NOS than the clear ones) for either a GT Hawk or late Lark type and watch people do double takes nate |
