I'm not sure how they do things in California, but in Georgia, if you entered the intersection while the light was yellow, you did not run the light. I wouldn't proceed without an attorney. It is worth it to have someone explore any possible defenses you may have, negotiate a decent plea if possible, and then represent you if you plead not guilty and move on to a bench or jury trial. Don't find someone that'll simply help you enter a plea. Having a clean record is a wonderful thing. My 2 cents.
