Home MenuLights On! Voucher Program
The Chula Vista Police Department, in collaboration with Lights On!, is looking to make local roads safer by offering drivers the opportunity to get broken lights on their vehicles fixed at no cost and in lieu of a citation.
The Lights On! voucher program is being implemented by law enforcement agencies across the nation and is now offered regionally by the Chula Vista Police Department, San Diego Police Department, and National City Police Department.
How It Works
- Officers issue vouchers to drivers instead of tickets for burned-out headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals.
- Local auto service providers fix the bulbs.
- Lights On! coordinates all administration and reimbursement.
Please note that the officer still has the discretion to issue a citation for the violation. Additionally, while officers will be issuing vouchers for the lighting equipment violations, they will still be able to act on other violations that may be present. It does not prohibit them from requesting the person’s identification and checking police databases for any outstanding warrants.
Redeeming Your Voucher
Vouchers can be redeemed at participating locations for up to $250 for burned-out headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals. If the repairs total more than $250, the remaining amount is the sole responsibility of the driver. If the repairs cannot be completed by the participating auto service provider due to another issue with the vehicle, the repairs will be the responsibility of the driver. The voucher cannot be redeemed for cash value.
