First off, who cares what some knucklehead thinks?
Unless and until someone else pays the note and/or insurance, it's your car.
If you like them, put them on!
Personally, I think they're pretty nice looking done right
And although we all know about opinions and thier equivalent, provided for your edification, is her "opinion" on the matter written for the Orlando PD in 1999:

Unfortunately, I don't have the time at the moment to do further research into her cites or other case law since that time.
Here's the Florida State statute:

Quote:
316.2397Certain lights prohibited; exceptions.
—
(1)No person shall drive or move or cause to be moved any vehicle or equipment upon any highway within this state with any lamp or device thereon showing or displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in front thereof except for certain vehicles hereinafter provided.

The key here is the bolded section.
For a while, locals were dinging the ricer crowd for minor violations, in an effort to not only stop some of thier activities, but to gather intel.
The "neons" you see reflecting from under the cars, were deemed to be "illegal" under the above statute and provided PC for the stop.
Not sure where it's at nowdays?
As long as your coves are "coves" anyone would have to really stretch thier imagination (and the law) to make it illegal.
I would NOT place red/blue lights in the front other than the turn signals.
Too easy to violate the statute.
