red light changer vs the law do you think it legal to change lights with using magnets by the general public ? i think police are going to start pulling you riders in major cities and start searching for that gimmick. it like using cell phones in cars only a bigger law offences. what happing when 2-3 bikes come to a 3 way intersection who has the right to cross the tricked green lights ? just thought .. red light changer vs the law do you think it legal to change lights with using magnets by the general public ? i think police are going to start pulling you riders in major cities and start... » Read More red light changer vs the law do you think it legal to change lights with using magnets by the general public ? i think police are going to start pulling you riders in major cities and start searching for that gimmick. it like using cell phones in cars only a bigger law offences. what happing when 2-3 bikes come to a 3 way intersection who has the right to cross the tricked green lights ? just thought .. « Show Less

It would make no sense to pull you over for one of these.First, assuming it actually DOES work (and I'm not convinced of that, mind you), the only thing it does is tell the road sensor that there's a car there.It doesn't actually change the light itself.So, it's not going to cause any trouble -- it's just going to allow the light to change the way it would change if there were a car present.

What kind of moron are you? You must be the product of our failed public education systen. This product increases the apparrent mass of the the vehicle making it equal to a car. It merely tricks the sensor embedded in the pavement, no different than any other vehicle in a left turn lane. The traffic lights are not forced out sequence.

It's all about the wire harness. The difference color wires have different functions. I don't know the colors off the top of my head but 1 does left turn, 1 does right turn, 1 does marker and tail lights and the 4th is a ground. There plenty of diagrams available

Yes they are legal in all 50 states depending on the color you get S5.8, Replacement Equipment, of FMVSS No. 108 states that all replacement bulbs are approved as long as the wiring of the vehicle is not changed, ex. I run 6000K on a lifted 2000 Silverado truck with chrome reflection in the housing that is legal because it was an addition of wiring not a full redesign of wiring to allow the lights to operate. The only problem you might have is people pulling their high beams on you. The only other thing that might get you depending on where you live is you can only have 4 forward facing lights on at a time while driving in traffic. Hope this helps

First the good news. If you drive an SUV, pickup truck or any other type vehicle on which fog lights are preinstalled or you've added them on yourself, there is no federal law prohibiting their placement on the vehicle. Second, there isn't any bad news. It's more no news at all, really. That's because there is no record in the United States, except California, where motor vehicle laws specifically address the use of front fog lights. And even in California it was debatable because of conflicting interpretations of laws, until they were clarified in 1996. With that being said, I'd just be courteous of other drivers, just be a decent human being. First the good news.

It is not street legal, nor is there much point in using them at all on streets because they cast a short, broad beam that won't illuminate anything at all in time to react to it. In other words it is more of a floodlight than a spot light.

You need to upgrade to better spoke lights if you would like to change pattern. These lights are already programmed to a certain pattern already. More money if you want to control the pattern of designs

I use my Streamlight on my home protection handgun, so I actually prefer the red laser. Typically, green lasers are better for brighter/outdoor environments, and I bought this product specifically for indoor and predominantly night time defense. The LED light is plenty bright, and the red laser is still highly visible, even when the light is on. I would think that red would actually be more visible than green in this case. All in all, I am very satisfied with the performance and price of this product.

I was going to put it in but held off when I made a trip to bowling Green. I've too have heard about cruise not working but will find out shortly when I put it in and experiment. It would be a lot cleaner on wire leading to turn signals not having resistors for my switchbacks. I have been selling led lights to several forums and locally to many people for about 3 years. I am one of maybe 2 in the US to carry the new Cree/driver headlights and can't keep them in stock they sell so fast. I am DFWWIZ on TBSSowners and GMTNation forums.

The device is designed to fit several standard connection types. However, automakers are designing some LED lighting systems such that they cannot be changed assuming the LED life will withstand the vehicle life. Automakers are not taking into account accessorizing the vehicles in these ways. My experience is that map lights, pilot lights, or ambient lightning cannot be changed. Check your vehicle to determine if the LED lights can be swapped out.

I use it as a headlight in California but never checked out the legality question. It is much brighter than what it replaced providing much improved visibility.

It depends on the power source. It can be connected to let's say for example your fog lights. So when your fog lights are on the plasma lights are on. Or they can be installed independently like mine so they can be turned on at will, highly recommended. Because in most states it is illegal to have on while driving. Also blue or red lights are for emergency/ police vehicles only.

I believe they are illegal in Arizona go online and search for it I know pa passed a legal blue LED lights and these ones are real sweet on my bike

Yes, but you may want to check the vehicle code in you area to make sure this is ok. Also, doing this would just make it look like your hazard lights are gong on and off. In California your pretty limited to what can flash. If it looks like an emergency vehicle you couled get ticketed..

I live in Texas, I commute to work daily on my bike during the night and go through 3 towns on my commute. I pass police in all 3 towns on highways and fm roads and I have never had anyone stop me. In my experience, they know you have it to increase visibility and they are not going to mess with you.

I would recommend checking your local/state laws. Most lights (example: red, blue, green) are for emergency personnel only such as police, fire, medical (first responders). Yellow color is mainly used by tow truck operators or construction crews.

yes. it says it in the ads: "***NOTE*** ALL reflective materials will tend to look more intense in pictures. Camera flashes can be more intense in a split second than other lights. LEGAL in most places since they are made for SAFETY and are NOT lights!!" no one has even HEARD of anyone getting a ticket for reflective in ANY place on planet earth. there are no laws known to man against reflective, since they ARE made for safety.

Check your local ordinances but I it is highly unlikely that they would be legal for on road use. More importantly, they would be awful fog/driving lights.
