Hey guys just FYI this was just based on my experience I would print out vehicle code 25400 and 24003 and keep them in your car, 25400 states its legal and 24003 insures its illegal to have interior lighting only and most cops write you a ticket for the wrong light code, keep them both in your car and if you get pulled over show them those codes or fight it in court, hope this helps you guys out :)
AJ. You know not having a license at the front of your car is illegal at CA. Passenger vehicles display 2 license plates: 1 plate on the front of the car. AND 1 plate on the back of the car. Other vehicles, such as motorcycles, usually have only 1 license plate www.dmv.org/ca-california/license-plates.php#General_Plate_Information
@@jr8671 The color of your rims? If for some weird reason you have purple rims or something you can run underglow, or try something that looks blue but isnt blue?
Here's the thing. Even if you think it's not illegal and you are in full compliance with the law all it takes is one crazy cop to see it and pull you over and start tripping. That's what's screwed up about this country.
But like you said if you're in full compliance with the law and it's not illegal who cares about a cop tripping. They're not above the law, they simply enforce it
And they will. Just because you are "different". They may just give you a ticket for kicks. The younger you are, the more likely city cops will ticket you.
I got pulled over for running Green underglow. I showed the officer the California Vehicle Code stating it was legal and he took that as an insult and said "Well if you wanna act like a lawyer then go fight this in court" and still gave me the ticket.
@@aidansathoff yep its illegal to use green lights. here. We also highly recommend avoiding blue, red and green colors on any aftermarket lights including underbody glow, as these colors are typically used on emergency vehicles. In case your underglow system emits more than the allowed 0,05 candela/square inch, permitted colors are white and amber in the front, and red in the rear of your vehicle. Review your street glow lights package carefully, and if possible have the original packaging in your car as additional proof if required.
@@geezaz7398 California VC 25400. Says its totally legal as long as its not red in the front. I asked a cop if it was legal and he said if its green or any other color than red or blue thats totally fine but others say its illegal no matter what color. I think its just confusion because its not a common thing on cars and it seems like something that could be illegal, to some officers.
Why does it matter if you use the colors that emergency vehicles use? Are people really that stupid that they will actually think a normal civilians car is an emergency vehicle? Sounds like just another excuse to give you a ticket.
I don't know you but if a def person see a red light coming out of a street the first thing that person will do is go to the side. Also, there are morons who would use the red and blue to fuck with people.
one additional thing to add to his points: in many states, the lighting has to be diffused in order to be legal (meaning, the actual bulb itself cannot be seen while illuminated, just the glow effect from the bulb should be visible in the ground). Red and blue are illegal pretty much everywhere for obvious reasons but white is legal in several states. Check your states law to make sure, theres a section for neons.
For those seeing this in 2020, you CAN run Red/White/Blue as long as it's not visible from the FRONT of the vehicle. The lights still cannot be flashing/strobing/breathing/fading in & out, etc. The lights also cannot be within 12 inches of your operating lights (Headlights, Tail Lights, Turn Signals, etc.).
you have everything else right about red and blue. only amber and white allowed if there aren’t certain restrictions in your state. but never red and blue
I have red underglow and live in Cali in my matte black celica and gotten a ticket for it, underglow is dope as shit but just make sure it can change colors to make it Legal and not have solid red like I did haha..... Great Vid man cool to see more underglow fellows here in Cali
@@AJsBRZ i have a question i got pulled over today for having underglow blue lights... they said its illegal 🚫 in California to drive but not illegal while parked so can i run green or purple while driving in California i live in Wilmington CA and they let me go with no ticket and said the others officers might give me a ticket and what code can I show them thanks👍
@@richardpadilla9948 did you ever find out if it was legal to drive with other colors I got a ticket for driving with purple on and he said its illegal while driving
ALSO TO ADD TO UNDERGLOW ON A MILITARY INSTALLATION! From the POINT of the gate personnel to the Red light post going off base. You're still considered on military grounds. KEEP THIS IN MIND, as I am a Security Forces(MP) member. Reasons why im saying this is because, I hate seeing fellow car enthusiasts get pulled over for said reason: Running underglow on a Military Installation. Thanks guys, please be safe, and keep the car game strong!
idk if it’s a cali thing but you can run red white and blue as long as they aren’t flashing, flashing all colors at the same time or have them solid at the same time. SAME TIME is illegal where i live
EVERYONE, sorry but the video information is a little diffrent in CALIFORNIA. He is right about the military base but u can run red white or blue. Only thing is red can not be shown on the front or back. Otherwise everything else it correct KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
In Oregon it states no red visible from front, and no blue. No flashing. What I’m curious about is the breathing effect. Where it stays one color, but gets brighter and darker at a slow speed. Not flashing, but I’d be curious to hear what law enforcement says about that effect.
Vehicle code 25400 clearly states the color red cannot be ran at the front of the vehicle but any other colors are considered to be legal. As for not being able to run any of the colors on the American flag, I believe that's just the generally run of thumb for avoiding confrontation with law enforcement personnel completely. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
It is Legal in Quebec and Ontario(Canada)also, I don't know about the rest of the provinces. It is even given as an example of a legal lighting modification on a vh. Here you can have even red, blue, but not flashing red or blue lights. Is it legal in every state in the US, or it depends on the state?
I'm late to the party lol, thanks for posting man, really helps me out. Been running blue on only the sides (no front and back just to avoid that hassle all together) of my s10 for the passed year and a half and just put a kit on my 04 330ci. I run green for Christmas, but heads up to all, Alameda California didn't approve :(, but CHP saw them and said cool :). And wicked car dude!!! I'm jealous
good to know that using it on the sides is cool, front and back look weird to me, i wanted to put it on the sides only but i was worried that it would make me look like a fool xD
Whats the law for arizona? Clould the lights be changing color with out flashing? What codes or papers can i print out to keep in my car if a cop pulls me over?
I have a green H2 Hummer I was running my green lights, the officer gave me a fix-it ticket, initially he asked if the car was mine. I looked at him and replied, ''excuse me''! He then requested license registration and insurance and yes I had them. He then asked my to sign it and drive safe. Note there was no violation type code on this ticket he asked me to have another officer sign off on it before May 30, 2019. I'm still unsure?
I have a 2012 Kia Forte and was wanting to run underglow on it. I was wondering where I could go to get multi color changing underglow at for a reasonable price. Thank you all for your time.
So I put the lights under my car and in my car and got stopped by a police officer I ran "green" and said sir you know why I pulled you over today I said "no clue," he said "those lights are illegal to run in West Virginia," so I pulled up the law that said they were legal and he wrote me a warning and said if I didn't take them off by the next time another police sees me I would go to jail! HELP?! It clearly says legal for every color but Blue, Red, and White. Also flashing or "strobing." And not on a military base. So why can't I run my purple, green, and amber?????
There are two things you can do, if you get pulled over again and get a ticket fight it in court , or you can take the warning slip you got and show it to a judge, I'm sure you can call in and say you would like to speak with a judge, those are your best options
I'm in New York and according to a lot of sources it says I cant use ANY color besides white which doesn't make any sense because white is used on a lot of government vehicles so to all the others in my state Id honestly say wing it and see what happens because I legit have looked everywhere and cant find any source online that sounds legit.
I wish it was uniform cause you're right when it comes to my car but on my motorcycle the only color we can't run is red and they can not be flashing at all regardless of color. Im in Comifornia as well
I think if your ride is parked say at a cars and coffee event or car show it's most likely ok to have strobing and flashing lights there's not really a problem using white color just don't use that color while driving

I have a charger scat pack, i have the outer ring of the head lights that turn different colors, i usually keep it green, but my head lights stay the normal color. Im from cali, is this legal?
You know the other day I went to my local community college for freshmen matriculation and saw AJs BRZ but I didn't know who he was at the time. It's really cool that he goes where I'm gonna go next year
I live in Iowa and I have blue all around my car. I have passed multiple cops without getting pulled over. I also got in touch with a police officer and he said in an email as long as the lights are well hidden and are not exposed outside of the car then it is legal. I have the email printed out to show to other cops incase i get pulled over.
Heads up on some missing info. Green lights are actually not legal, because this is a color claimed by the National Forest Service and Forest Rangers. Purple and Amber and Yellow are ok. UV blacklight. White is Ok, except on the rearward direction of the vehicle opposite the current direction of travel. I believe that it is ok to have red underglow that is relegated to the rear of the vehicle, and only activates with the brakes, or is dimmed and then brightens with the brakes when the taillights are on, like underglow taillights, basically.
As I understand it blue (at least) can be used as long as it isn't displayed directly (the bulb directly visible). I got hit for (directly visible) blue running lights.
Hey guys just FYI this was just based on my experience I would print out vehicle code 25400 and 24003 and keep them in your car, 25400 states its legal and 24003 insures its illegal to have interior lighting only and most cops write you a ticket for the wrong light code, keep them both in your car and if you get pulled over show them those codes or fight it in court, hope this helps you guys out :)

You know the other day I went to my local community college for freshmen matriculation and saw AJs BRZ but I didn't know who he was at the time. It's really cool that he goes where I'm gonna go next year
Where did you buy your lights?
Can you run cyan though?
I live in Iowa and I have blue all around my car. I have passed multiple cops without getting pulled over. I also got in touch with a police officer and he said in an email as long as the lights are well hidden and are not exposed outside of the car then it is legal. I have the email printed out to show to other cops incase i get pulled over.
Send it
Does this go the same for fog lights?
You can run any color, but they can’t be facing forward, flashing, and the bulbs cant be seen. California also I laws have a candela per sq inch limit
We can't even run green in Florida because it looks like security, luckily I got a verbal warning for it.
I am in Florida. I am not even going to bother now.
I’m in Vegas and there is no restrictions on underglow. I run blue and red and police drive right by me.
What about fading into the legal colors
What about headlights?
Hey I know I’m hella late, but is it legal in Florida?
Which state?
Is Teal illegal?
I run solid white in AZ. Cops have told me that it is okay and I've never had any issues.
How about Flashing Blue LED Valve Stem Lights?
you can do red white and blue, just not in motion.
Heads up on some missing info. Green lights are actually not legal, because this is a color claimed by the National Forest Service and Forest Rangers.
Purple and Amber and Yellow are ok. UV blacklight. White is Ok, except on the rearward direction of the vehicle opposite the current direction of travel. I believe that it is ok to have red underglow that is relegated to the rear of the vehicle, and only activates with the brakes, or is dimmed and then brightens with the brakes when the taillights are on, like underglow taillights, basically.
Write that down. The drooling idiot cop can read it with his lips moving when he pulls you over.
Is it illegal here in Phoenix Arizona ?
some cops have told me no green bc of homeland security but that is in GA
Yeah I can understand that, I'm in socal so Laws are different in each state
Another color!
Can u have the lights changing color while parked
As I understand it blue (at least) can be used as long as it isn't displayed directly (the bulb directly visible). I got hit for (directly visible) blue running lights.
Interesting, awesome thanks for sharing man I did not know this, if I see a cop I'll ask him about blue again :)
