When I get pulled over..I'll let everyone know for sure.

I live across the road from the Cincinnati Sheriff HQs so I see cops by the dozens.

I think they're illegal in any color but white, but most cops won't pull you over for them

Anyway, I'd put them all on a switch just to be on the safe side. I'd want to be able to turn them off if the po po came around looking at me funny.

It really depends on the state. In NC, for example, the law was changed years ago so that only ones that "emulate an emergency" vehicle are prohibited. (Unless it has changed again.) But, a cop being a %%%%% might be able to say it violated the "more than one set of auxiliary lights" law. You just have to check with your individual state.

Laws change from state to state. Here in Kansas there are 3 rules for accessory lighting:

1. No flashing
2. No Red
3. Bulbs/LEDs cannot be directly in view.

I got blue on my bike.
