i run a warehouse, so i talk to a lot of truckers and they have LOTS of lights. i was told that red lights are okay as long as they are rear facing. we had a discussion one day because one guy had red lights facing forward on his truck, but they ended up being rendered inoperable. im going to talk to a CHP DOT officer and get the lo'down on this sitch. i really dont see an issue with this other than a reason to pull the said vehicle over to inspect for other more serous problems. i mean, if the license plate is visible from 50 or more feet and illuminated, whats the big deal?
i was also reading up on rear facing red lights and they are legal in sever weather conditions i.e. fog, heavy rain, snow, ect. but they must have a definite on and off switch and the lights have to be positioned in a certain manner.
i know that we have already established this as being illegal and i feel like all the research i am doing, after the fact, is like beating a dead horse lol.
