all the lights have to be 'white'
but my lights are blue, but it comes out as white with a tint of blue.

i've had cops pull me over and telling me that foglights are illegal, and shouldnt be yellow. but the foglights are factory fitted, and are legal, right? but foglights should be yellow, because yellow is the only colour which can go through the fog.

This is the configuration for post facelift model: (Basing off GPvR)

Parking lights: in the inner reflector area (Lower bulb)
Main Lights(low beam): Outer light cluster
High Beams: in the inner reflector area (Center or higher bulb)

For the pre facelift this is what I think the setup is, but I could be wrong.
Parking Lights: Part of the indicator light assembly
Main LIghts(low beam): Outer Light Cluster
High Beams: Inner light cluster

The only thing I can be accurate on is the post facelift GP, as I haven't looked at other models closely =/

Yeah, u're right MADFTO. I've got a post facelift GPX and the lights are set up exactly as u've said. No matter what the configuration is, they still use the same type of bulb.

is the light bulb blue? or is the colour that it displays blue?

coz there are Blue light bulbs, but when they are turned on, the light is white/yellow.

i think its illegal to have your lights other than 'white'.
but f**k it, i've had purple, blue, yellow lights on at the same time, and still passed RWC, driven past many cops with them on and never got pulled over.

i think u better check with vicroads.

VicRoads are hopeless, good-for-nothing bureacrats

They can never give you a straight answer, especially when it comes to light colouring. Give the local police a call.

did the car past a RWC with the blue lights?
im not sure if RWC covers light colours, but if it does, and the car did pass the RWC with blue lights, then its legal!

but then, blue lights will give cops a good enough excuse to pull u over!

yeh i know what u mean!

im using the icey coloured light globe for all the lights, and it looks MAD!
but one of the lights broke, and its hard for me to find another one, so im using a replacement ugly yellow one

I thought the blue/artic white globe were legal. I got the packet here and it says Steet legal, ECE and ADR approved. Maybe you guys got a different type to me.
On the other hand, using your fog lights when it is not foggy, and using driving light in a built up area, is illegal, however it is not illegal to have them fitted.
And for anyone who is still confused, there are two globes in the park light, one for the parker and one for the fog lamps, if you have em fitted.
