I got the inferno kit from oznium and i ride with them on demo mode (goes through all the colors/designs). I never got really any trouble. But for allot of cities, you can just keep them on on private property, and turn them off on the road. Shouldn't get any trouble then. Or if you want to leave them on on the road, just turn them off when you see a cop. In some other cities, you can have any color you want, just as long as you cannot see the bulb of the light source. |

Bronze Member Username: AudiosaabPotomac, MD Post Number: 47 Registered: Nov-07 | LOL so i got the email back.... this is the bullshit they sent: Dear MVA Customer, Thank you for your recent e-mail inquiry. The answer to your question is as follows. The following information was copied from the Maryland Vehicle Law. 22-209. Color of clearance lamps, identification lamps, side marker lamps, backup lamps, and reflectors. (a) Front lamps.- Front clearance lamps, identification lamps, and those marker lamps and reflectors mounted on the front or on the side near the front of a vehicle shall display or reflect an amber color. (b) Rear lamps.- Rear clearance lamps, identification lamps, and those marker lamps and reflectors mounted on the rear or on the sides near the rear of a vehicle shall display or reflect a red color. sooo uhhh what in the f(u)ck does that mean....lol |

They may harrass you, but I dont think they can give a ticket, cause there is no law as of yet on it according to them. |

Silver Member Username: Gavbo211JL Audio 10w3v2, IL US Post Number: 687 Registered: Jan-05 | I had red L.E.D.'s and i live in IL.. and i still got a ticket. All types of lighting besides those put on the car from the manufacturer are illegal in IL, or that's what the cop told me anyway. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6596 Registered: Nov-04 | It's illegal just about everywhere. I don't ever recall a city/states/country that allows it. If you ever had it on and someone got into an accident while watching your lights, you'll get sued. It sounds like bs, but the lawyers will argue that the driver was distracted by your lights. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6600 Registered: Nov-04 | Yanks, how the yankees now? Will they compete for the ring next year? I hear people are leaving cause of the manager. Here's a thought. The Joe left cause he got offered $5mil plus incentives to make almost $8-$9mil. It was considered an insult since it was a pay cut. Well he signed a new contract with LA for slightly higher than $4mil/season. If the less money was an insult, why did he sign for much less else where? I thought he was going to hold out till someone offered $7-$9mil/season. |
