bought a module to make my rear turns- brake and running also,, i have amber lenses , question is , is it legel to leave them amber as they will now be brake lights also ?? i know i can put red lenses but i kinda like them as amber , when you hit the brakes they really grab you eyes along with the led tail and flashing ones on the tour pac .
thanks mike

 

Brake lamps should be red.Go ahead and run the amber ones and the local LEO will let you know whether its legal or not.

 

I have been running amber on mine for a couple years with no problems.

Just because you havent gotten caught doesnt make them legal. They should be red.

 

If you get hit from behind it could cause problems with your insrance or the person who hit you. You now have some culpability which could cost you $$$.

Just lookin out for ya...

 

I had the smoke lenses on mine when I put the run, turn, and brake module on it and the local dealer insisted I put red bulbs in the turn signals. I did, I put red leds in and they are much brighter than the stock bulbs and still look cool with the smoke gray lenses.

 

Yes they are supposed to be red and I would change them out personally..

 

Law in Illinois is brake lights have to be red.

 

I think all states require red lenses now for the brake and can have amber or red for the turns. Almost all newer cages have red for the combo brake/turn signals now.
