Actually, they are legal provided they are not on a moving vehicle. Moving has been defined as in driving gear or in motion. So, as long as I am parked and not in drive, I can have the blue lights.
I have double checked and spoken with a few of my highway patrol / sheriff friends and they have told me that as long as it goes off before I put the truck in drive, I can have the blue lights.
They go off as soon as I start the truck. Trick is not to activate the bed lights unless I am in park.
And as for the bright blue lights, they cant stop them as the light is not actually blue. Its the wavelength being determined by our eyes as blue. If you notice the color changes to white as you get closer or much farther. Its the same thing with video recording. You could have white light on stage but the camera picks it up as blue, because the iris isn't set properly.
I had some small blue lights peeking out of the grill on the old trac, got busted for those. they were only 1 LED in size and very light, but enough for the cop who passed me to see. He didn't give me a ticket if I disconnected them on the spot, which I did.
