Got pulled over by police because rear turn signals on 2003 Honda Accord are white.?

Question

I purchased this car as Honda certified from a Honda dealer. Is this true that these white rear turn signals are illegal in Pennsylvania?

Answer 1

It is illegal the dealership is obligated to pay your ticked because they sold you a car knowing that it was not street legal. they broke the law when they sold it to you. by law a dealership cannot sell a car that is not road worthy. Unless it states on the bill of sale "as is" or "for salvage"

The dealership is at fault not you.

the dealership may not willingly pay your ticket, but i guarantee they will put street legal signals on it for free.

best of luck.
