Reverse Light color requirements.

Is there any requirements saying that reverse lights should be white in TX. I tried txdps.com and didnt find anything. I have those super white bulbs in the reverse, but at some point they look blue. I've seen some people with purple ones, so idont know.

This was taken from the Texas Transportation code on the following website:
http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/cqcgi
Since the back-up lamps are not required for state inspection, you can use what ever you want as long as they are not displayed on public roads.


§ 547.332. OTHER LAMPS PERMITTED. A motor vehicle may
be equipped with:
(1) not more than two side cowl or fender lamps that
emit an amber or white light without glare;
(2) not more than two running board courtesy lamps,
one on each side of the vehicle, that emit an amber or white light
without glare; and
(3) one or more backup lamps that:
(A) emit an amber or white light only when the
vehicle is not moving forward; and
(B) may be displayed separately or in combination
with another lamp.

Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 165, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1995.
