Anybody here have lawyer friends? I'm getting tired of just having my neons on in parking lots and ramps/bridges so I think I found a way to have them on and be perfectly legal.

MI Vehicle Code Art. 4, Sect 257.698
Michigan Legislature - Section 257.698
(4) Unless both covered and unlit, a vehicle driven on the highways of this state shall not be equipped with a lamp or a part designed to be a reflector unless expressly required or permitted by this chapter or that meets the standards prescribed in 49 C.F.R. 571.108. A lamp or a part designed to be a reflector, if visible from the front, shall display or reflect a white or amber light; if visible from either side, shall display or reflect an amber or red light; and if visible from the rear, shall display or reflect a red light, except as otherwise provided by law. (5) The use or possession of flashing, oscillating, or rotating lights of any color is prohibited except as otherwise provided by law
So it looks like as long as I have on a solid red, and only red everywhere except the front I am within the law. It works out because my front tube stays broken so that takes care of the front requirement. It'd be great if someone with legal experience could verify this for me. I don't see what the big ******* deal is--lots of things to distract other drivers (cellphones, gps, etc). Plus, the law was written 72 years ago and could stand to be updated. Either way, I'm carrying around a copy of the vehicle code. Best thing about working evenings is that I've got all day to be in court fighting tickets.

I have a buddy who put marker lights all over his truck and in order for him to be legal his lights had to point outward from the frame rails and not be underneath. amber front and sides and red in the back.
running the neons that were the right color in the right spot would be legal.you will get pulled over though and have to argue it with the cop, trust me my buddy got pulled over all the time till he agrued it with every cop in midland and saginaw county.


Speaking of midland and saginaw county I saw 2 SS's one black and the other was silver. one in Freeland at the gas station and the other at the stripclub in saginaw.

to add to your argument i see bikes every day during rideing season with blue or red flashing lights on them but green solid is illegal on a car. why can bikes and not us. yes i know it makes them more visible to drivers, why cant we make out cars more visable to semi's and SUV's

Only amber and solid white are allowed. No flashing colors other then amber.

Biggest reason is because they don't want you being confused for an emergency vehicle.
