I finally got my triple pod all lit up, and its spectacular (pics coming soon) but I'm worried that the local cops may take issue with the fact that the lights from it can be seen from outside the car? Do laws like this apply to functional gauges? I live in VA where everything else is illegal to do to your car...
Maybe I'll have to hook a switch up to it or something so I can shut it down in pigly areas.
Thanks,
Steve
I dont think they will give you a problem...thier gauges not like thier strobes/neons. Some stock cars have them. Ive NEVER heard anyone having a problem. I havent had a problem with mine, and in my town i got a ticket for a liscence plate frame. You should be alright.
yes, the laws apply, lighting laws. like if you can't have blue lights on your car and the gauges are blue you could get a ticket for them if they can be easily seen from outside the car. but if a cop is going to mess with you for something stupid like this, he would of found something to ticket you for anyway.

This is what I found in the
Virginia Code I didn't do an extensive search, so you may want to double check for yourself.
§ 46.2-1020. Other permissible lights.
Any motor vehicle may be equipped with one or two fog lights, one or two auxiliary driving lights if so equipped by the manufacturer, two daytime running lights, two side lights of not more than six candlepower,
an interior light or lights of not more than 15 candlepower each, and signal lights.
The provision of this section limiting interior lights to no more than 15 candlepower shall not apply to (i) alternating, blinking, or flashing colored emergency lights mounted inside law-enforcement motor vehicles which may otherwise legally be equipped with such colored emergency lights, or (ii) flashing shielded red or red and white lights, authorized under § 46.2-1024, mounted inside vehicles owned or used by (a) members of volunteer fire companies or volunteer rescue squads, (b) professional fire fighters, or (c) police chaplains. A vehicle equipped with lighting devices as authorized in this section shall be operated by a police chaplain only if he has successfully completed a course of training in the safe operation of a motor vehicle under emergency conditions and a certificate attesting to such successful completion, signed by the course instructor, is carried at all times in the vehicle when operated by the police chaplain to whom the certificate applies.
Unless such lighting device is both covered and unlit, no motor vehicle which is equipped with any lighting device other than lights required or permitted in this article, required or approved by the Superintendent, or required by the federal Department of Transportation shall be operated on any highway in the Commonwealth. Nothing in this section shall permit any vehicle, not otherwise authorized, to be equipped with colored emergency lights, whether blinking or steady-burning.
