LED lights installed along hood/grille

[surfstar]

Our vehicle laws need to be updated, or completely thrown out in some cases. If someone was trying to inpersonate a cop with flashing red and blue roof lights, that would be one thing, but banning those color of lights outright is a little ridiculous imo. Pretty sure if someone is unhinged enough to want to pretend to be a cop for nefarious purposes, laws like these won't stop them in the slightest.

Nah, with how bad and distracted drivers are, we need to keep to standardized colors. Also could likely come into play with more and more safety / self-driving features that utilize cameras.

blue= very illegal btw

and can get you a ticket in some states like NY where troopers are on the lookout for those things.

I can understand why......someone placed red lights or bright halos on the front of their car and it was coming towards me on a dark rainy night on the other side of the road (55mph road). I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on and though someone was in the other lane and backing up quickly since I could see it moving towards me. Scared the crap out of me and I was about to slam the breaks on and pull off the road so he wouldn't hit me until I realized at the last minute they were on the front of the vehicle along with his headlights. If I was a cop and saw that I would yank his license until a court appearance.

not in Texas, red is the only no no for solid colors from the front. Blue is fine as long as it’s solid/not alternating.

I just see it as a classic case of government overreach, adding regulations for the sake of regulations. Is there really much of a difference between the whitish blue lighting of existing LEDs and slightly darker blue aftermarket LEDs?

I mean, if it's an issue with drivers being distracted by bright lights and colors, God help those people if they're ever driving through Vegas, or around any particularly vibrant billboard ads.

A magnet for being pulled over.
Worse than throwing empties out your window as you drive.
So, how many times have you been pulled over since you posted yesterday?

They look cool. I wouldn't do it, but I am looking for a good set of LEDs for inside the bed.

To be fair, the roads are by definition government property and thus they can put whatever limitations they want on it.

Pretty cool. I think some of the new continuous LED lighting on cars aids safety. Just better defines vehicles at night.

Now if only they could do the Cylon thing while you're driving. Next up - You need to add Battlestar Galactica phase blasters.

I believe they’re asking for a brand or a link where you got them, price?

More important picture is what it looks like in the daytime.
