Driving car without headlights

MahiC · 12-31-2018, 12:09 PM

Hey guys wondering if it's okay to drive without the headlights? Getting them modded and they are out for 2 weeks, but I need my daily ///M fix. Just making sure I won't have issues with frm or them not working after reinstall.

Yeah I wouldn't

I'm just asking cause I know there's like a short circuit counter and other things like that so I don't wanna mess up the car haha I'm just paranoid.

It looks quite weird, if you run across a cop you're done lol

Yeah no headlights would mean no front blinkers, not to mention to reduced pedestrian safety. You’d be ticketed for sure.

I did it for a few miles when I’d drive to Milpitas to San Jose for body work and I just covered the wires with electrical tape, all good

Yeah I'll probably do that, hmm I guess I'm going to see how well I can sweet talk. Im trying to take my car to get some work done as well. I think hand signals are still legal

Looks pretty cool to me.

No issues with cops, where I live they usually have more important things to deal with...usually...

No headlights, no plate, just a big roaring v8. What's not to like about it?

I'd be more concerned about no front indicators. If you got into a crash your insurance company would laugh at you and deny every coverage.

None of this gamble is worth the $30/day a rental car would cost. It's a stupid risk to take.

Definitely not advisable haha - I drove my car a few times without headlights when I was getting my lights modified as well. I got a lot of weird looks. AndI purposely planned out my route so that I would avoid congested areas, and areas where I knew cops typically sat/patrolled. I would also recommend taping your headlight wiring down - you dont want that flopping around in the wind haha
