The regulations on lights and reflectors have been in place for almost a century now its only local policy that needs to be better standardized about enforcement. DOT sets the rules on what color and intensity lights and reflectors may be used on a vehicle on a public roadway. It had started getting crazy and confusing in the early days so they stepped in with standards. The regulations have overall improved our safety on the road.

FL is tougher than KS. Here, as long as the lights themselves aren't visible, then there isn't an issue. Once saw a white minivan with purple lights so perfectly angled that you couldn't see them but they reflected off the street to make the bottom half of the doors glow purple. Looked light some spook-van going down the road. Hm. "Ground effects lighting," huh? So what if it's frame effects lighting, then? Is that ok? (see what happens when you start over-regulating silly stuff?) >'Kat, still thinking mrsunsett should just swap out that blue for pretty pink and go cruisin'. Say, you could add some axel bouncers and air-struts. Man wouldn't you be just the thing then?!  I ride around with my leds (that are changeable with the switch i installed) on pink when my wife is riding second in command on the back seat. The glow on the white paint of the pcx is always fun. No matter what color. Orange, green, white, pink, purple, teal.. all great glow effects on the paint. But white glows best, and the cops i have talked with when i getting ready to pull out of a parking spot at night (believe me, they always come talk when they see the lights come on) they always are strong proponents of it, from a visibility standpoint, they have no issues with something making you more visible as long as its not flashing.. or red/ blue. They always tell me to go bring it up and vity council hearings, to try and change the specifics of the law so it states what colors are legal and what are okay to ride with. |
