Yep, as others have said, we cannot have any red or blue lights at all.

We can't answer this without knowing where you live. I will say that in almost every state forward facing red lights are illegal.

yeah and if anything happens, all the other driver has to say is they mistakened your truck as an emergency response vehicle, but yeah i think that would look pretty nasty too

People who do have them only use them for show when they're parked. I do think there are like 3-4 states where they are legal

I do like the looks of the red halos in the tail lights. I would do that to mine if I wasn't planning to change out my tail lights for chrome LEDS lights so I can install my tail light guards.

Yeah I had a run-in with a city cops in Syracuse with my 97 accord and their reason for ticketing for washer lights was because of the possiblitly of distracting oncoming drivers... Same with underbody neons... Fine to have them when parked, but when driving its not and they " will " pull you over.... If you do get pulled over they seems look everything else over with a fine tooth comb.
