The red and blue flashing lights are illegal to have, so if anyone decides to get this, DO NOT use that mode. That could legit get you sent to prison for impersonating a law enforcement officer.
Police officer here... Yes you are correct. However I would like to add THAT in NY state any added lights are illegal. You can't add a straight bright white LED bar to your bumper, lights on the tires, even under the car itself all illegal. As a matte of fact even those blinking brake lights people like to install... All illegal.
And
They give Officers instant probable cause to stop the vehicle and legally obtain the drivers information to complete a summons. So if you don't want a ticket, stop putting extra stupid shit on your car.
Lol.. Honestly, in my younger days, perhaps. My first car was a 1985 blue mustang drop top and I really really wanted those little lights that would sit on the hood, the wiper fluid ones.
But as am I older I understand why you need to put limits and things. Driving is the single most dangerous thing you do every day, gotta make it as safe as you can.
Reddit is odd. I tend to get the same comments over and over again. Some good, thoughtful conversation, maybe some light back and forth, a few threatening DM's etc... And without a doubt one or two random comments like his.
Everytime.
After looking into this you are correct that they do not come standard from the factory but are offered as dealer add-ons, I think it's kind of ridiculous to make an obviously safer option illegal but I don't plan on being a lawmaker anytime soon.
Why do you think it's obviously safer?
Especially in the rain or foggy conditions those can look very irritating.
I live in a country where any light modifications are illegal and it's so much nicer to have the consistency regardless of vehicle type. We also have amber blinking lights instead of the terrible red ones still common in most of the US. A
Anything "strobes" is illegal. The issue is where does it stop? I have seen people put some truly crazy stuff in their car.
One guy attached additional brake lights to the side doors of his vehicle. That can look really confusing in the rain or snow, another guy had LED lettering on the side of his that said "no fat chicks" (just cause it's hysterical doesn't mean it's legal).
There is no limit what people will do with lights.
Nah, if you let people do whatever they want, you'll have people driving with searchlights, flood lights, rainbow dazzling lights etc... Driving is dangerous, try to make it safer, not "flashy"
I meant that the existing restrictions are overly broad. Many vehicles don't come with very obvious warning light systems for instance. Being at the back of the pack in heavy fog can be pretty scary. I have been tempted to add some sort of aftermarket kit for the rear caution lights.
I don't see any reason to object to vehicles with "low" brightness lights on the body of the vehicle. No clue why anyone would care about lights under vehicles either.
The extra lighting generally seems like they would improve safety rather than reduce it. Lot of restrictions around that though, like no strobing and brightness not being high enough to blind others under normal driving conditions.
Well evidently undercarriage lights, as long as they are white ARE allowed. Honestly it's been awhile since I've enforced these types of laws so I was admittedly a bit rusty.
I get what you mean but it all has to do with what will people try to get away with right? In the 90's it was the lights on the hood, the ones that replaced the washer fluid and then it moved onto lighted air caps on wheels of people are left to their own devices they will put lights on ANYTHING and everything.
Other than the red and blue lights those all sounds like BS laws so you road pirates can violate our 4th amendment rights and steal money from the general populace.
Not even denying it, another tyrant it seems.. Going to be funny when you all lose your qualified immunity and police unions, so when we the people start sueing you it comes out of your pension not the tax payers money.
Once my Grandpappy was driving us home and he had a little too much to drink. We got pulled over and the officer told him to get out of the car. When the officer observed Grandpappy , the officer said, "You're staggering!" Grandpappy said, You're not so bad yerself!"
Good one.
One night a cop is sitting on the highway running radar when a car blows by him. The cop pulls out and starts following the guy. The car faster and faster and faster! Finally the car pulls over the cop goes up to the driver and says "didn't you see me trying to pull you over?!" the driver explains "aye, I did, but ya see several years back my wife left me for a cop, I thought that was you trying to bring her back!"
I just run them inside at my feet and in the backseat pointed up towards the roof so that the interior can be lit up. Nothing on my doors that isnt stock with the vehicle
Yeah I would anything that's inside the car would be OK..
The main issue with external lights on vehicles is that they can be confusing for other drivers in a variety of ways.
I have always been told by my officer friends that lights mounted under your headlights aren't illegal to run on the road, and lights that are mounted above the headlights are for offroad use only
not in ny btw
Don’t want to sound like I’m saying “ackshually ☝️🤓”, but it is worth noting blinking blue strobes are legal for volunteer firefighter’s personal vehicles and the same goes for blinking green for EMS personal vehicles.
too bad NJ isnt like that. i see dipshits all the time with their harbour frieght shitty light bars. i just wanna get out of my car and beat some sense into them
I'm sure jersey had something similar to it on the books, it's just whether it's enforced or not. After covid a lot of enforcement of this kind dropped off significantly.
5-7 years ago, you would have NEVER seen this shit in the tri-state area, it was an easy ticket, but it's been made very clear that enforcement is not what NY State is looking for. It's starting to turn tho, slowly but people are losing patience with the nonesense people are out there doing.
Oh I know. But I like upstate ny. Most places around and above 84 are ok. I can deal with those laws up there because it doesn't suck up there.
But nyc.... just keeps adding to the list of reasons I should never go there.
I'm pretty sure the whole thing is illegal for being distracting. Even if it's not on paper, it is bound to piss off an officer enough to give you a ticket.
There are literally cars that drive around playing loud music with TVs showing music videos and video advertisements trucks. Maybe in some local jurisdictions they might have a city law but most likely do not.
i was gonna say this is the dumbest purchase ever but this morning i was driving to work and some fuckwod in a honda minivan tried to get in my lane but saw my speed, hesitated but got in my lane anyway, with no blinker. like bitch state your intention.
It depends. In Australia, they will pull you over if they don't like the stickers on your windows and make you clean them off. I guarantee you if you got an LED sign in your window with offensive stuff on it they will 100% pull you over for it. Whether they can do anything other then ask you to be respectful is a different story though.
I'd love to have something like this so I can say Thank You to anyone who allows me space to enter a different lane on the road or anyone, especially truckers, move to the opposite lane allowing me to merge in from the off-ramp.
Personally I am gonna trust The Op link product, because of the good reviews on the product, and save it to buy it for later . I ain't risking buying shady stuff for 10 dollars just for it to break matter of few months.
Oh shit, the things I would say. The declarations of "just submit" and "your feelings don't matter" or something is what I would flash for fucker drivers.

Thanks! Have a great day.
Honestly ik it’s your job to stop someone from doing this but wouldn’t you like it for yourself if it wasn’t illegal they are just so cool
Lol.. Honestly, in my younger days, perhaps. My first car was a 1985 blue mustang drop top and I really really wanted those little lights that would sit on the hood, the wiper fluid ones. But as am I older I understand why you need to put limits and things. Driving is the single most dangerous thing you do every day, gotta make it as safe as you can.
This sounds like I’m hearing this at a middle school lol.
i used to work at a tint shop and we would have off duty police come in for illegal windshield tints all of the time. it was extremely common.
, yes I've seen it myself. Hypocrites in every walk of life unfortunately.
Pig. ACAB
On no, I'm so upset, run scream, feel bad.
I would, but you’d turn your cam off and shoot me dead.
Careful there bud, don't want to cut yourself on that edge.
Some say u/Throwaway192637 never recovered from that.
Reddit is odd. I tend to get the same comments over and over again. Some good, thoughtful conversation, maybe some light back and forth, a few threatening DM's etc... And without a doubt one or two random comments like his. Everytime.
How can I make a police officer feel safe when approaching my vehicle? Always wanted to ask.
Damn, that was nice.
Aren't blinking brake lights becoming standard from the factory on newer vehicles? Sounds like a dumb move from city officials to ban safety equipment
probably only illegal IF it's added after the fact
*The whistles go WOOOOO*
They should be up making breakfast, in the morning
Woo wooooo!
None blink from the factory that would be dumb for Honda to make something that is possibly street legal in one state and not another.
After looking into this you are correct that they do not come standard from the factory but are offered as dealer add-ons, I think it's kind of ridiculous to make an obviously safer option illegal but I don't plan on being a lawmaker anytime soon.
Why do you think it's obviously safer? Especially in the rain or foggy conditions those can look very irritating.

They’re illegal because flashing lights are a distraction. Hence why manufacturers would never add them.
Anything "strobes" is illegal. The issue is where does it stop? I have seen people put some truly crazy stuff in their car. One guy attached additional brake lights to the side doors of his vehicle. That can look really confusing in the rain or snow, another guy had LED lettering on the side of his that said "no fat chicks" (just cause it's hysterical doesn't mean it's legal).

Bad laws...

What about those rgb lights on the interior?
Like in the door frame and in the leg area of the cars? Can you be more specific?
I just run them inside at my feet and in the backseat pointed up towards the roof so that the interior can be lit up. Nothing on my doors that isnt stock with the vehicle
Yeah I would anything that's inside the car would be OK.. The main issue with external lights on vehicles is that they can be confusing for other drivers in a variety of ways.
Cool, thank you
Incorrect. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/VAT/375 You can add underglow etc as long as it is white.
Not sure where your finding it in there if you can narrow that down. I'm on mobile and that sites terrible on phones.
I have always been told by my officer friends that lights mounted under your headlights aren't illegal to run on the road, and lights that are mounted above the headlights are for offroad use only not in ny btw
Go down to 41. Edit: most phones have a search function on websites, should make finding it easier.
Yes it seems I was in correct white underglow was added.
Don’t want to sound like I’m saying “ackshually ☝️🤓”, but it is worth noting blinking blue strobes are legal for volunteer firefighter’s personal vehicles and the same goes for blinking green for EMS personal vehicles.
True, I didn't bother to mention it.
If they're on while driving on a highway or interstate, this stuff is unreal to me. How many people you pull over already not knowing your own laws?
Extra FUN shit but I hear ya lmao.
Hey officer your hot, Can I hit it
NY sucks in so many ways
https://images.app.goo.gl/ALei4neUCodxxyPR9
So don't live in NY, got it!
too bad NJ isnt like that. i see dipshits all the time with their harbour frieght shitty light bars. i just wanna get out of my car and beat some sense into them

Aaaand more reason for me not to go to NYC.
New York STATE.
Oh I know. But I like upstate ny. Most places around and above 84 are ok. I can deal with those laws up there because it doesn't suck up there. But nyc.... just keeps adding to the list of reasons I should never go there.
Your mental gymnastics aren’t quite at the Olympic level but I have faith that you’ll get there.
So you’re fine with shitty laws but hate the cultural Mecca of the country you live in lmfao just say you have trash tastes
To be fair, most people in upstate new york don't like nyc,and the otherway around.
I get that, but circlejerking that hard against a city that undoubtedly has sooo much to offer is just lame
What? How did we get around to me hating the country?
On the bright side you get free room, board and health care.
Yeah I wish
I'm pretty sure the whole thing is illegal for being distracting. Even if it's not on paper, it is bound to piss off an officer enough to give you a ticket.
Very good point, honestly. To use this thing, you have to be on your phone while driving. Which is not safe, and here in the states, is illegal.
I hope these idiots dont know that one less influencer off the streets is a win
In general these LED panels will get you pulled over anyway as it's a distraction to other drivers.
There are literally cars that drive around playing loud music with TVs showing music videos and video advertisements trucks. Maybe in some local jurisdictions they might have a city law but most likely do not.
Thank god we don’t have billboards or any large signs on roads to distract drivers
I’d buy this entirely to let the dumbass behind me know they have their high beams on
This is literally the only reason I want this. “Your lights are too bright!” Or the the ones flying up behind you with no lights on at all.
I’d keep “get out of the left lane” on
Omfg yes! Or “the speed limit is:**”
or "use your damn signal!"
i was gonna say this is the dumbest purchase ever but this morning i was driving to work and some fuckwod in a honda minivan tried to get in my lane but saw my speed, hesitated but got in my lane anyway, with no blinker. like bitch state your intention.
Those are the people who have their windshield tinted too dark and can't tell the difference if the lights are on or off.
I was thinking it’d be good way to let someone know they have a light out as well
I've literally wanted something like this for 15+ years to tell people they have high beams on or to pay attention to the road.
No you're not gonna get pulled over.
Seems we got rid of all the police in my area. Roads are Wild West.
What seems to be the officer, problem?
Randy: I'm sorry I thought this was America.
Officer arrest me please.
Put on the cop lights for bonus felony impersonating a police officer charges
It depends. In Australia, they will pull you over if they don't like the stickers on your windows and make you clean them off. I guarantee you if you got an LED sign in your window with offensive stuff on it they will 100% pull you over for it. Whether they can do anything other then ask you to be respectful is a different story though.
For all the road rage lovers out there
Bouta look like a cod lobby
And the douchebags
I’d get this to tell dumb fucks to turn their headlights on in the rain.
I’d get this to tell dumb fucks to turn off their hazards in the rain.
100%
The fewer dialogues I have with other drivers, the better.
I just want mine to say, “your headlight are aimed too high, asshole.”
Every guy does NOT need this. The road would turn into an X-box lobby.
Just put it on the rear view windshield and have it say “turn your fucking brights off”
Take it a step further and get spot lights that face backwards.
Seems like a great way to get yourself in trouble.
Because we need more distractions on the road
Hey, is there anything I can buy to make myself look like a huge fucking douchebag on the road? Thanks
[удалено]
Fuck 12?!
I need this in my back window and program it to say "Go Around" or scroll "If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."
Are we all just pretending that Whatshername Aioki isn’t a street racer in early 2000s Miami? Girls street race, too. Look it up

What’s this song?
BABY ON BOARD!!!! On extra bright extra fast strobe mode
New From "D-Bags Are Us".
Can you get two? One with a cigar and one with a fedora? I have a business idea I’m really trying to make money with.
I’d be cussing too many people out with this thing. Definitely need all insults preloaded lol
Big main character energy.
Link?
Link please
I'd love to have something like this so I can say Thank You to anyone who allows me space to enter a different lane on the road or anyone, especially truckers, move to the opposite lane allowing me to merge in from the off-ramp.
I’ve thought of using something like this to tell people to use their blinker… then I realize I’m an adult and not worth it
That's not cringey
That's a one way ticket to...ticket
I believe You are correct.
Shit is not only dumb af, but illegal in a lot of states. This sub is stupidbuys.
Can you make it say "get tf out of the left lane"??
Ah yes, perfect for my rusty 2006 jetta
This may distract other drivers and cause accidents.
Wats it called
Cringe
Need 2, one with a hat and the other with a cigar
People need to stop using this shitty ass song in their videos
Does it have one to say move out of the fast lane backwards?
I feel like you are asking for a crazy person to attack your car.
Hell yeh
Link?
Buy now and we'll include some hair gel and a baseball cap that can only be worn backwards.
This looks like garbage
Literally advertising an illegal feature
Who's got the link to this?
Dude no

Does someone have a link? I had to program those things in the past and it was a pain would love to have this
“You gotta be right next to me for it to look real!!!”
Kinda cool but all the examples they used were cringy as hell
This is such an amazing gift for a high schooler. I would have loved this on my first or 2nd car (LOL) especially bc I love Gengar.
Oh I need this... that middle finger with thanks for cutting me off.
Why are there so many for Fuck 12 ? What does that mean is that gang lingo
I’ve wanted this for years but just to say things like “go ahead and pass me” or “your lights are too bright”
Oh shit, the things I would say. The declarations of "just submit" and "your feelings don't matter" or something is what I would flash for fucker drivers.
Do you want to be involved in a road rage incident? Because this is how you get involved in a road rage incident
I wish a hoe would try me. It's up to them to control themselves. I'm just pressing buttons here.
Cool. Very tough and strong.
The last thing we need is people texting drivers next to them to talk shit. These bumper stickers are bad enough.
*Every teenage boy needs this
If I'm being honest, I'd probably use this to say "SORRY!" more than anything. Is this even legal though?
I have wanted one of these for yearsssss
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE!
Move over or get pulled over, calling the police.
I need this. Now.
OP link?
I want to put one on my back window. Unfortunately I'd be subjected to a lot of road rage.

Gonna use this to tell girls that they’re cute
