No doubt in my mind, that's why many people don't do them.

It really depends on the law in your area. But more then likely the cops won't like them. But in my area, they really don't care.

Yeah, it's not worth it. Just gives them a reason to pull you over.

I'd bet money on it....lots of it.

Blue lights of any kind on a vehicle, is just asking for trouble.

And if the cop is a dick (like most) the ticket for the blue lights will be just the start.

LawmanSS, is there any actual laws stating you cant running colored lights other than amber/red? Wouldn't it be the same as the stupid little ricer kids that have the neon crap shining out from under thier cars that you can see from 2 blocks away? LOL

Here in PA, use of certain colors and color combinations are limited to emergency vehicles...blue is reserved for volunteer fire/ems...blue with red is for police use, etc...using blue LEDs would not be legal on several accounts...one, the use of blue, and two, the blue color would not pass vehicle inspection for marker lights. As for the ricers' use of neon, they can only be used when the vehicle is not in operation...use while driving is illegal because of the distraction they create...hope this answers your question.

I've got a couple of "oscillating red light" warnings, but no tickets. Cops down with Knight Rider. LOL. But in certain townships, scanner goes off. Those suburb cops will have 3/4 of the ticket wrote before they hit your window for your license and registration.
