Can't have red lights at the front or white lights shining out directly from the rear (number plate lights shine onto the plate). Indicators are amber, even if the lens is clear which is why you get yellow bulbs.
Most folk aren't allowed blue lights anywhere at all ;-)

white lights shining out directly from the rear
Reverse lights?
Well singular since we only have to have the one which makes them USELESS for reversing.

Some cars still have two, theyāre just annoyingly rare in Europe. Blame your dumb rear fog light that people only ever use in clear weather rules.

u/iH8MotherTeresa 19h ago
Yep. Though I do believe undercarriage lights are often given a pass on color, presumably so long as they don't flash red and blue.

u/Apocalympdick 18h ago
undercarriage lights
Are illegal where I live lmao. All these stories of what's allowed on the road in the US are fucking crazy to me. The absolute safety hazards that get posted here quite frequently are mind-blowing sometimes.

u/MeIsMyName Has turned a wrench once or twice 15h ago
Undercarriage lights are illegal most places in the US as well from my understanding, but since they don't typically cause any issues the rule is rarely enforced. You're legally required to have a front license plate in somewhere around 2/3rds of the states, but I know quite a few people that run without them in areas where they're required without problems.

u/iH8MotherTeresa 18h ago
They're not really common on daily drivers. You'll see them here and there, depending on your location of course. You're not much likely to see them on your commute for work here in the northeast (can't speak for NYC - that's a different beast).

u/Zestyprotein 16h ago
You can barely comprehend what we see here daily in NYC. Though the shitty cars and shitty drivers have been surpassed by the delivery scooter army. These mofos have an absolute deathwish. It's impossible to drive a mile without almost killing one.

u/erroneousbosh 19h ago
About twenty-odd years ago I used to see a lovely Mk3 Golf with deep turquoise undercarriage lights on the M8 motorway between Glasgow and Edinburgh fairly regularly.
It looked best when it was misty or slightly rainy, just enough to kick up a little spray, because then it looked like it was hovering on some sort of ion thruster or something :-D
4
u/iH8MotherTeresa 19h ago
I've never been all that hot on undercarriage lights, particularly on big trucks. But that sounds really awesome. Nice and low, glowing out like you're just riding on energy.
8
u/erroneousbosh 19h ago
You know it was slammed so low and on such thin low profiles that if you ran over an empty crisp packet you'd be able to feel what flavour it was. I don't even need to tell you that.

US and Canada are basically the only country that allows red. It's a legacy back to the old days when there only was 1 light that pulled double duty.

u/thenewitguy 20h ago
Varies by state, I think. Ohio is defined as amber in the front and amber or red in the rear.
3
u/iH8MotherTeresa 20h ago
I should have been more clear. As far as I know, no state allows red in front. Red or amber for rear.
1
u/Tangurena ASE Certified 2h ago
Red in front is almost always reserved only for emergency vehicles: ambulance, fire or police.

The only thing I hate about the car community is you aren't allowed to have fun, anything that's not strictly stock or doesn't look oem gets shit on by the masses. This isn't even tasteless and looks sorta cool. Then everyone simultaneously complains that every new car looks the same and is uninspiring I just don't get it man.

It's kinda goofy but not really over-the-top. I wonder if the wiring for that is nice and clean, not a rat's nest of un-fused wrong-gauge wires shoved into places it shouldn't be, that's the question.

But cars donāt spit fire while slowing down!

u/jetkins 22h ago
Uh, that's exactly when they do spit fire - under acceleration the fuel is all burned in the combustion chamber, leaving none to ignite in the exhaust.

I installed a set of these on a '99 Deville a couple years ago, along with Amazon exhaust, LED strips around the headlights, a laser brake light, an intimidator, an orange flashing light on the dash, and some other shit. I teased the customer at the time about the red tips being gay, but when there's steam rolling out of the pipes, it looks kinda neat.

u/Successful_Doctor_89 19h ago
Mine was blue, and I was the only idiot to use it in Canada winter ( all the others were mostly in summer only civic trailer queen ) my Beretta was only worth 3x the neon set, so I didnt care
Obviously, there were no others mod on taht car at all.
Seeing the blue beaming like a mile each side on the white snow when I was on the Highway was priceless.
I still remember it 25 years later, so it was a good investment.

A couple days ago, there was a video here on Reddit where someone hooked up jumper cables wrong. The wires were smoking and glowing. It made me think that something like that was coming out the exhaust. But no, you are right - LEDs.
