is there a difference between cars and bikes for rear blinkers?? i have read that bikes always have to have amber turn signals, so shouldnt that count for cars too?? my chevy has all red lights in the back(except for reverse), so am i illegal from the factory??

also i got blue leds in daytona last year on my engine. ran them most nights i rode to help with side visibility and i thought it looked cool. never got a second look from the cops. dont have that bike anymore, not sure if im getting them on this bike yet.

 

If your riding you bike with a modulating headlight, it is perfectly LEGAL in all 50 STATES. In this case the FED statue superceeds local law, however most states vehicle and traffic laws recognize the flashing headlight exemption. BTW, the flashing/modulating headlight is for DAY use only.

 

Newsflash!!!

It's not a bogus ticket.
You can't have blue lights on anything here.
It's on the books for a reason, legally you broke the law.
Just last week about 50 ppl werearrested in a sting, that had their cars equipped with blue lights, strobesand sirens, front mounted computers, stolen badges, uniforms, the works.

Next time, check with one of us that livehere if you're unsure.

 

I added the HD converter tomake myturn signals auxiliary brake lights. I have the HD bullet typewith smoke lenses. Amber bulbs in the front and red bulbs in the rear. Not sure about the legality of running amber lights in the rear butI didn't like the lookso I changed the bulbs to red ones. Very visible now.

 

Florida law states that no privately owned vehicle can have a blue light, and they cannot have a red light facing forward, flashing or not for either color.
This has been on "The Books" for nearly 50 years.
Enfocement is spoadic at best in the metro areas.

I've heard of some city cops ticketing blueish headlights, and not allow the vehicle to proceed until they were replaced, usually resulting in being towed instead.

 

BC you can't have anything of any colour moving or stationary, cops will hassle you. neon, LED doesn't matter.

 

You can even get harrassed for a transparent red or blue bug deflector on the hood of a pick-up truck if the cop is in the mood. The idea is that the sun coming through from the rear makes it look like it's a light. Probably even at night ...... a friend of mine once got nailed for an American flag-style deflector. We called the LEO "Commie-Cop".

 

Most states now, are on an interstate compact agreement. Fail to pay a ticket in another state, and your HOME state will suspend your driver's license.

 

That LEO was PMSing. Sometimes the cut you some slack and sometimes the even respond with rudeness.

Stay healthy.

Mimo.

 

Here in the revenue-hungry state of Washington even the red tail light lenseswith the little blue dot in the center are illegal.
