In Florida, Is it against the law to have red tire valve lights on your tires?

Question

I want to mod my car and one of the things I wanted to get are these tire valve caps that light up in red when you reach a certain speed and only at night so it looks like you have a circle of light around your tires...but I don't want to get a ticket over something so stupid as a light. So my question is: In Florida, is it illegal to have RED tire valve lights on your tires?

Answer 1

First, in most states, those sorts of lights are for "off-road use only." However, most cops would not be inclined to give you a ticket as much as they would to give you a warning to take them off.



Secondly, in order to find out laws on such things regarding new items and trends, the best method is to call a local police department and ask for the specific law. What might be legal in Northern Florida, might be illegal in Southern, etc.

Answer 2

Florida has different laws but in California and Texas they are illegal to have because they could cause a drive to think that your are law enforcement because the lights will be traveling around at high speeds, lights to stay away from are red and blue.....

Answer 3

Why would blue LED valve stem lights (solid on when vehicle is in motion, not flashing) on a car so visible only from the side, be illegal. How could these be mistaken for a law enforcement vehicle - especially since only visible from the side?
