I would think this would be highly illegal...
15+ c light color?
Does anyone know of any way to make my c lamps red? If I do the black out headlamp mod could I just put red tint for a tail light on the c lights or would it be notocable?

There are a lot of lighting products that are on the market that are blatantly illegal on public roads

Yeah they exist but I wouldn't run them constantly that's for sure. Like Zax said it's illegal.
Pretty sure the law goes something like this, Can't run any color lights used on/and to identify emergency vehicles.. i.e. blue, red etc...

Basically, law requires that all red lamps be positioned at the rear of the car. To put red C-lamps, demon eyes, etc. on the front of the vehicle makes the vehicle illegal on public roads.
