Mike,

I remember when I got the Raydyots for the 3 back in the  early 70's the box 
did say they were illegal in California. Is that still  true? Even after all 
regular cars converted to halogen lights years ago?  And now some cars (and 
bikes) have those bluish lights which seem to be  very focused and bright.

I really don't know. Some of the new "blue lights" I find blinding on the  
freeway and they seem to be legal.
In the 60's (and my 20's!) I drove my TR pretty hard and I got lots of  
tickets for dumb things. 
 
I also had several accidents. When my State Farm agent advised me they were  
no longer interested in my business, and I was faced with the reality of 
having  to get to work somehow, I had to clean up my act.
 
 I was forced to be serious about everything illegal I was doing.  I even got 
rid of my red paint job (symbolically repainted it yellow). Driving  lights 
were part of the package as well as my 58 Merc resonantor (no muffler). 
I even stopped trying to shift at the "P" on "RPM" on the tach.
