LED's legal color.

[PinoyKat81]

Hello. Does anybody know the legal colors for LED's here in state of Florida? Thanks.

[rexazz2]

here the problem is color association
orange front
red rear tail
blue snow removal equip. and police
green vaulenter?? fire service

Thats why they like writing tickets for it and the grounds they do it on

If you put anything on ,make sure it is switched

Eh, who cares. Do it regardless!

My interpretation of stats laws and lights


If its like any other state i have lived it, an LED istelf is not street legal, most fog lights even at the store are not street legal, unless the unit itself says its approved, you will usually find this marking in letters on the lens itself when it comes to headlamps and fog lights so my assumption is that this would have them also. In VA i know any exterior mounted LED not from the factory IE new audi and what not with it built in is illegal and considered a distraction to other drivers. Good luck on your search

The laws all vary by state (and country). PA legislation recently (last summer) made most LEDs legal.

One of the Officers that come into the store said that in Florida, most wont bother you as long as you cannot see the bulbs and that they dont flash (blink). I have green on my bike, ride with them on at night all the time never been stopped... even in different counties.

ive been told by a few cops here in Bay county that you are good aslong as its not red, blue, or amber color. he also told me they wont bother you very much about them..but then again if they wanna pull you over, your gonna get pulled over.

I run red under my fairings and lining the undertail on my bike. State law (AL) says you can't run red or blue, but the only red is to the rear like my taillight so I've never been hassled by the (other) cops. Also, the lights themselves are not visible, only the glow from under the fairings...reflecting off of the engine. Call the FHP and ask to speak to an officer or a local cop and just ask...they probably won't mind the talk.

Thanks for the info everybody. I'm thinking about getting the 72-LED 24-PODs

Multi-Color Accent Light Kit for Crotch Rocket from ledaccenlights.net .
Still thinking or I'll just get a green color 44 leds just to be safe from the popo.

I did that once for a mod. Removed the stock fender and moved my tag back a few inches further under the tail. Talked with about 6 different city cops about it, they looked.. said no problem.

Got a ticket 6 months later while pumping gas, because a city cop was out run by another biker, and he saw me right after. Was not nice about it at all.

Remember, Laws are up for interpretation by law enforcement. Just because a few don't think it's a problem, does not mean 1 will not.

Not bashing, just saying...

Even though it is legal be prepared to be stopped. I know I have been. I just inform them of the new bill and they look it up then let me go. I am curious to know if I will be stopped more this year since word is out a little more......

Oh and I glow ALL over. I think I am currently up to 132 LEDs under my bike....

[Cyclops755]

After talking to a DE state trooper, he said as long they don't flash he would never stop me, and like Soul, I glow everywhere. They seem to agree with the thought that bikes are severely under illuminated at night from the factory, and the addition of the LED's actually makes the bikes somewhat safer from the increased visibility, esp from the sides. That's half the reason I put mine in (at least that's what I tell them )

Wisely i would choose a hper white color becasue like stated the emergency colors could get you in trouble.

Depends on your state really. All colors are legal in PA so long as they do not strobe or flash so as to imitate an official vehicle.

I now have blue on my current bike with no isues...
