especially if they are not flashing or strobing or cycling through the rainbow...interesting though that motorcycles can get away with this because it helps them to be seen better at night as a safety thing

i once heard you can't have green on the front because someone might think it's a green traffic light and get confused...or having white lights on the side of your car might make a person think a car is heading towards them...not sure where this kind of bullshit comes up from

It makes everyone more visible. Any lights you add, add to visibility. No way around it. I was just thinking about writing a letter to my congressman to try to change it. Probably futile but whatever. I like the look of underglows, I realize a lot of people view them as over the top but I don't care

Green lights are for volunteer fire fighters vehicles. You probably just don't have any around where you live. I see them a few times a week out in the small towns. Here you might get a warning if you have red n front but you WILL get a ticket with green unless you can prove you are a volunteer.

It isn't bull shit. You are just young and think anything that you want to do but can't is bullshit. There are perfectly valid reasons why certain lights are in certain places.

All local firefighters are volunteer as I live in rural Iowa. Never once seen green lights. Saw a volunteer EMS once with flashing blue lights behind the grill on his truck though

You can do what you want, just dont go bitching about a cop on a power trip for doing their job (especially when you knew it was illegal). Her not seeing the 1911 may get her killed one day though...
