I think the answer is no since there's no signal lights in the front but I just want to double check because I've seen people do so in between projects. I'm swapping headlights with another member here so I won't have any for a couple of days. We have a dyno day coming up and I would like to run my car.

lol a cop will find any reason to pull our cars over, and if you dont have taillights, that's a BIG *** green light for them to go after you. and yeah there aren't any signal lights or anything like you said.

Yeah I figure the answer was no. I was just checking if anybody on this board has done so or know the exact law against such a thing that I might be able to drive it during the day.

around here if you explained why you didnt have them, like they were vandalized and I am driving to the shop or to somewhere to get new ones they would be ok with that. I drove around without headlights for a couple of days without a problem.

Hmm...well the reason why I even think it's okay is because there was this one guy who sent his lights to clearcorners.com and didn't have lights for a couple of weeks. I still see him from time to time without headlights running around town. Sounds like it's a hit and miss kind of thing.

re>"Is it illegal to drive around town during the day without headlights?

Yes.

If it begins raining, most localities require headlights ON.

Random equipment checkpoints always require operational headlights.
