    White LED okay shining from the rear?

    Hey guys,

    I am almost ndone my bagger project on the 750.
    I wanted to know, are white LEDs that light from the rear legal?

    It's like these red rods but white LEDs.

    Legal or not, white lights facing towards the rear is a bad idea. People associate white lights with headlights.

    Red can only be on the rear of the vehicle.

    White lights on the rear of a vehicle must not be visible when operating. Example: You need a white light to shine on the plate, but mounted in such a way that you can't see the bulb from the rear.

    Any turn signal color is legal, as long as it can be clearly visible and understood which way you are turning from a min distance of ~30m. There is no law stating the color of turn signals. But as stated before not recommended.
