legal here if not seen from the front.

Rhode Island:

§ 31-24-30Red lights in front prohibited. – No person shall drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon any highway with any lamp or device on it displaying a red light visible from directly in front of the center of it. This section shall not apply to any vehicle upon which a red light visible from the front is expressly authorized or required by chapters 1 – 27 of this title. Violations of this section are subject to fines enumerated in § 31-41.1-4.

 

Oregon is the nearly same way, white, red, orange and purplelights are ok, blue lights whiledrivingget you aticket.

 

Many states have what is known as reciprocity. You don't pay your fine in thier state and your license can be revoked in your home state until the fine is paid. Just ignoring a ticket because you are out of state can be bad advice. It could also result in a warrant being issued and the next time you are wandering through that state you could be in for a unplanned stop over.

 

When I switched my rear signals to LEDs, I was going to get red lenses. The tech at J&P said I should go with amber ones since they are used for signaling.
I also added a converter, so they work as auxiliary running and brake lights. I am legal for the signaling part, since they are amber, but I don't know if it is legal to have amber aux. running and brake lights.

I'm aware of that, but I doubt (don't know for sure) that it applies to an equipment violation. At least Nebraska, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin have never followed through.

 

I sell and install LEDS, I tell my customers up front; if they buy blue lights in a blue light emergency state, they can only display them while parked. Red and Clear have no impact in a blue light state. Red/flashing is only used by volunteer fire. It is legal to run Red LED's.

 

Don't count out Massachusetts too quickly. You may have sliped through but trust me they can smell money. If its out there they want it.

 

Here in Nebraska the blue lights on a MOVING vehicle would be illegal. And Pococj, it doesn't matter what type of ticket you get, if you don't take care of it there's probably an active warrant for you here...LOL.

 

Ah...Another happy BikeWeek experience...

But honestly, when you put anything on your bike (or car) that makes it 'stand out'....That's what you're gonna do...Stand Out. Consider yourself lucky that they didn't impound your bike (like I saw them do one year because the dude had really - really tall apehangers).

 

In New Jersey Police still use RED adding BLUE, while Volunteers use BLUE only, Also as I understand it flashing WHITE lights in the front also a ticket in this fine state of New Jersey.
