Are these amber lights legal?

[Sschmittou]

If my light bar has these amber marker lights ( like a f250) is it legal to drive with these on roads.

I'm aware the bright white ones are off road only.

But this give me a functional amber light bar, plus I can turn on the clear ones when I off road.

What is the function of the amber lights on the roof on anything smaller than a cargo van? I never understood them.

You'll have to check your state (and maybe even locality) law. Indiana, for example, has laws against red headlamps.

The amber lights themselves are probably legal, but most places require that you have that light bar covered while on public roads... obviously local laws vary, and how much they bust your stones about it is unknown.

Typically amber lights like that are required on vehicles that exceed a certain width in some/most states (see f150 raptor). Not sure of the repercussions of putting them on a vehicle not wide enough to meet the requirement. As with any supplemental vehicle lightning, it would be best to figure out the local/state laws.

Lightbar. The single worst mod I ever did. My JK was quiet inside until the lightbar. Forever more it sounds like a 1970's era ford pickup with the vent window open. Never again will I put one on a Jeep. And I had the Baja Designs Stealth bar which is half as high...

You'll want to verify yourself - I'm not a lawyer, but according to the googles and the internets, Michigan allows White and Amber as the only color lights to be visible from the front of a vehicle, which makes this sound ok.

Unless the law, which is the case in many state and localities is to have a cover on aux offroad lighting while on public roads..which would nullify the light bar entirely.

I love how lightbars we’re all the rage. People spent 100’s on purchase and install only to find out the wind noise is so annoying and were illegal to turn on the street. Lolol
