I believe that state law governs the use of lighting on moving vehicles. I further understand that state laws differ.

Fourteen makes a good point that it is important to be aware of state laws when installing lights if the moving vehicle will be operated on public streets or highways.

Of course it is also good to be aware of the laws regarding what vehicles may be operated on a public street or highway.

Really? That's interesting considering that most of the cars built and imported into North America seem to only have red signal lights on the back so when your hazards are flashing they're red too. Always been baffled about that. Some other parts of the world require amber lights for turn signals and hazards.

As for blue... Where I grew up in Canada that meant snow plow. Yet in many states here blue is the color for police. It must vary by state and/or jurisdiction. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I would think that flashing red facing forward is probably the illegal part so, for instance, you cannot place a red gumball (Adam 12 style) on the canopy of your PT. But you could probably do an amber or blue one (if its winter).

Anyhoooo. This is why I kind of lean towards those lights that I first posted, where you could have amber flashers and red tail lights. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
