I have a question that maybe one of you can help me with.
My son wants to put LED lights under his new dodge charger. I have researched about if it's legal. The various laws covering lighting on cars is very broad. So I thought.... Lets call the Indiana State Police
I spoke with a trooper that handles west side of indy. she stated that the prosecutor no longer prosecutes for these ground effect lighting unless the lights are flashing the colors Red/Blue. (understandable) She said it would be better to ask the state police that handle our area. I called them. the trooper stated "if you can see the tube that emits the light then it's illegal. Again no flashing red/blue....
Then I called our local police dept. The person I spoke with there said "Nope, they are all illegal, can't have... zip, notta.... unless the car is parked. I told him what the state police had said. Doesn't matter, they don't cover the city was his words.
OK, then I called our city Prosecutor's office. They said as long as the colors are not flashing it's ok. And again red/blue..
I asked each person if they knew what I.C. code the tickets or that covers these lights. None of them knew.
Suggestions? Thoughts? Is there any other place i could call? OH, I also called the Indiana Motor office... they told me to call the state police.
Any help would be great.
thanks,
Michael
