Here's what the Clay County Iowa Sheriff has to say about "colored" LED lights:

While it's not a violation to have neon lights on your car, Iowa law does restrict the colors of light that your vehicle can display while on the street. For example you can't have red lights visible from the front of the vehicle or white to the rear.

Now, here's the law that will allow you to "defend" yourself on that citation.
Plead not guilty, appear with this law citation and watch what happens.

Section 321.422 of the Merged Iowa Code (MIC), prohibits displaying a red light from the front of any motor vehicle being operated on a public road except those authorized to do so. Section 321.404 requires lights on the rear of a vehicle to be either red or amber, other than back-up lamps, which may only be lit while the vehicle is moving in reverse in accordance with Section 321.408. Additionally, blue lights may not be used anywhere on a motor vehicle unless authorized.


No need to thank me, I can that big smile start to creep across your face, wait, now you're grinning. LOL
