How weather proof are the housing?

What lumen/candlepower are they?

LED?

I like the idea and considered doing almost the same thing, but was told by local PD that added lights had to be very low output for street use. They even have light meters in some of the Sgt's cars to measure suspected offenders.

Much better. They look awesome and blue adds to your trike. I can't see how lights that low could be a problem for other drivers, other than making you more visible. They look very nice..

I believe Guido is talking about wattage not height, also may check with local laws about having blue light in front. Here it's against the law to have blue lights in front of private vehicle cause the police, fire, ambulance and voluntaries use the blue light.

That's to bad, I have to agree with you that they do look good with your blue trike.

Annete is right, totally illegal in Tennessee to have blue lights facing the front of a vehicle. Years ago we used to write state citations (heavier violation) and then make the driver take the little blue lights they would put in the windshield washer thingy.

...illegal in Idaho.

 

[trikermutha]

Most likely if its not red or amber its illegal in most states if not all..

 

[screwball]

Loud pipes are illegal, no mirrors are illegal, lots of helmets are illegal. They look good, go for it.

I agree. In automotive use the additional lights have to be less than 2 feet off the ground if you are going to use them while driving. I think those are about 9 inches off the ground... looks cool and will be ok with johnny law ThumbUp

 

[kanetruck]

Yes they are legal checked by PD friend.

9.5 " so you are close,lol.

And lights are 55 watt driving lights from Pilot.

Have them angled alittle toward side of road,gives me alot more light for the edge of roadside.
