I've done a bunch of research on the DMV site, browsed Google, and asked around town...

But nobody can seem to tell me whether or not it's legal to run a YELLOW bulb as the main light on my GS. I've seen a bunch of guys around town running them, but I've never had a chance to actually ask them if it's legal or not.

I looked all over the PA DMV site, in the motorcycle and regular sections of the law, but I can't seem to find anything that says you can't use it.

Any help is mucho appreciated-o.

I would suggest asking a LEO, as they would be the one to write you a ticket if its not legal

I live in Levittown Pa, and your headlight has to be white to be legal.

Cool, thanks for the info. Guess I'll be sticking with the white.



Maybe. 

I wonder why bikes aren't allowed to have yellow lights, but newer cars and SUVs are all allowed to have those blinding headlights that are so bright that they're not shining blue. I can't ever see a single thing when those cars are coming towards me.

If my bike had a yellow headlight then I wouldn't have to clean the bugs off it after riding at night.

In Texas your headlight has to be white, but halogen bulbs aren't "white" really. HID 4700K bulbs are white. I used to have a green bulb. I don't imagine you'd get in trouble for having a yellow bulb, but the light output would be lessened, because it would be a painted halogen bulb. Unless you got a 3700K HID bulb, and those look a lot more like halogen bulbs than yellow halogen bulbs; I have them in the fog lights of my car.

There wouldn't be anything better about a painted halogen bulb.

Legal or not, why would you want to?

And just like light bulbs in your house, there are a lot of different temperatures that still count as "White."  Warm white (2700-3000k) has more yellow in it than a cooler white (5000k+,) white looks bluer by comparison.  So you could customize within the realm of "white," and still be legal.
