that looks awesome, love to see it as the sun is going down.. not with the sun shining right on them.
really hope you don't get any problems with those, i'm sure you'd see them from 500 at night. good luck |

Aside from looking tacky, the OP clearly doesn't understand the law as he not only quoted the wrong code but he interpreted it wrong.
"(1) Every authorized emergency vehicle shall, in addition to any other equipment and distinctive marking required by this chapter, be equipped with at least one lamp capable of displaying a red light visible from at least five hundred feet in normal sunlight and a siren capable of giving an audible signal. (2) Every school bus and private carrier bus shall, in addition to any other equipment and distinctive markings required by this chapter, be equipped with a "stop" signal upon a background not less than fourteen by eighteen inches displaying the word "stop" in letters of distinctly contrasting colors not less than eight inches high, and shall further be equipped with signal lamps mounted as high and as widely spaced laterally as practicable, which shall be capable of displaying to the front two alternately flashing red lights located at the same level and to the rear two alternately flashing red lights located at the same level and these lights shall have sufficient intensity to be visible at five hundred feet in normal sunlight. (3) Vehicles operated by public agencies whose law enforcement duties include the authority to stop and detain motor vehicles on the public highways of the state may be equipped with a siren and lights of a color and type designated by the state patrol for that purpose. The state patrol may prohibit the use of these sirens and lights on vehicles other than the vehicles described in this subsection. (4) The lights described in this section shall not be mounted nor used on any vehicle other than a school bus, a private carrier bus, or an authorized emergency or law enforcement vehicle. (5) The use of the signal equipment described in this section and RCW 46.37.670, except the signal preemption devices used by public transit vehicles and department of transportation, city, or county maintenance vehicles that are not used in conjunction with emergency equipment, shall impose upon drivers of other vehicles the obligation to yield right-of-way and stop as prescribed in RCW 46.61.210, 46.61.370, and 46.61.350. While the 500ft visibility is a requirement for emergency vehicles, this does not mean that lights with less visibilty are not considered illegal. Perhaps he was looking for this: 9A.60.040 Criminal impersonation in the first degree. (1) A person is guilty of criminal impersonation in the first degree if the person: (a) Assumes a false identity and does an act in his or her assumed character with intent to defraud another or for any other unlawful purpose; or (b) Pretends to be a representative of some person or organization or a public servant and does an act in his or her pretended capacity with intent to defraud another or for any other unlawful purpose. (2) Criminal impersonation in the first degree is a class C felony. |

You might be charged with impersonating a public servant.
Red and blue lights are always a bad idea. At best you'll get pulled over. If things go wrong you'll be arrested and your car impounded. At worst you'll be convicted. Options 2 and 3 will screw up your life. It just isn't worth the risk. |

Red ones look nice but they look best when one side is red the other side is blue and you can set them up to flash alternately.

Don't forget the lightbar, and if you have a black car you should vinyl wrap the doors white!

minal impersonation in the first degree.
(1) A person is guilty of criminal impersonation in the first degree if the person: (a) Assumes a false identity and does an act in his or her assumed character with intent to defraud another or for any other unlawful purpose; or (b) Pretends to be a representative of some person or organization or a public servant and does an act in his or her pretended capacity with intent to defraud another or for any other unlawful purpose. (2) Criminal impersonation in the first degree is a class C felony. So there you have it spelled out for you in plain English. If you go riding around and actually pull people over or claim you're a police officer etc... then you're in deep shit. Having colored light bulbs does not constitute being charged with a Felony. On a side note I think the red angle eyes are gay. Swap them out for some LUX or similar led's. |
