seriously though, they are legal as long as the bulb itself is not visible... if you do a search, it's been covered before
Actually, this law is not written in stone and is open to interpretation. There is many loopholes that will get you a ticket while at the same time, there is alot that will get your ticket thrown out too. Basically, it boils down to the officer's discretion as there is one law that covers everything about modification and that is anything an officer deems to be a destraction to another motorist is prohibited. This can range from somthing as simpel as undercar lights right up to the absolute absurd such as 'Your chrome is far to shiny'
There is many specific laws regarding lighting aswell, here is an example:

Quote:
It is illegal to have any coloured lights other than white or amber to the front of a car. Red is restricted to Police, Fire and Ambulance, Green is restricted to Volunteer Firefighters and blue is restricted to Snow Plows and Highway Sanders.
HTA 62(1) (All Lights) – Drive without proper headlights – motor vehicle - $85.00/110.00
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/DBLaws/S...08_e.htm#62.(1)
HTA 62(15) (Red Lights) - Red light at front - $85.00/$110.00
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/DBLaws/S...8_e.htm#62.(15)
HTA 62(16) (Green Lights) – Use VFF lamp improperly - $85.00/$110.00
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/DBLaws/S...8_e.htm#62.(16)
HTA 62(32) (Blue Lights) – Improper use of blue flashing light - $85.00/$110.00
http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/DBLaws/S...8_e.htm#62.(32)
Broken dowm even more, the HTA has subsections which restrict the NUMBER of lights allowed on the car. There is even laws that dictate how BRIGHT lights can be.

Point is, Yes, they are illegal and NO, they are NOT illegal...

...it depends entirely on how tightly or loosly the officer wishs to follow the laws.
