I am looking for some clarification.
First things first……I am definitely not looking for enem anywhere close to impersonating LEO/EMS/FR…..
With today’s society, even if I did want to impersonate another career field….LEO would be way below the last choice. Today’s LEO/FR’s have enough trouble without looking for me as an impersonator. Some days I have enough trouble impersonating my own career field, much less someone else’s.
With the above said.
I am looking to add red and amber rear facing “in vehicle” lights…..but not for the reason you may think.
The rear “deck edge” lights are for “contrast” during turns and hazard flashers. Yes the set has multiple flash/strobe patterns but I don’t care about them. The main items I would use is the turn signal function, brake and back up lights. If they were…”Hardwired” to the applicable wire in the vehicle wiring harness so as to only come on when the four functions are used …(brake, turn signal, hazard flashers, brake and back up lights….would that be illegal? Yes a vehicle that has a LEO equivalent, but no where close to anything resembling a LEO vehicle. The only common denominator with the LEO equivalent is the vehicle manufacturer and model.
I personally would say no, as in NOT illegal and only benefit to me is the additional safety of rear light viewing distance. No roof bars, forward facing and especially NO Blue or Red/Blue combination. Simple rear window shelf mounted lights.
