Are "blue dots" legal in Jersey?

[BigMike]

I've asked a couple LE types and they didn't even know what one was....
I've been wanting to swing by and ask at an inspection station but I can never remember to do it when I'm in the area.... :lol: - "oldshiemer's"

As far as I know, any blue lights or dots are illegal unless you have the reason for blue lights.

I second that bozo's reply....they are illegal.....but only when you get caught.....

Jeez....what a great response from MR. Ed...

I have 2 of the Radiatz Lazerbolts, and I have them on my rear. (that was for you Ed). I have a switch underneath my rear (another one for you Ed) that I can turn them on and off. I usually leave them on. When riding in a group, you can tell which one is me. It comes in handy when I ride with my old man and his group. We get seperated, and you can see me instantly. Also, another reason for installing them is that it attracts the eyes and that is what I am looking for. Just to see my rear end! (Another one for ya Ed!).

100 percent illigal .... Oh and they look silly too.. :wink:

On the front of a vehicle they are illegal. The blue are intended for Fire Emergency Vehicles only. I think the blue LED windshield washer squirters are frowned upon too!!

Where does it say you can't have LED's or "parade lights" on your motorcycle that can be used for show? I have them, and I have a switch to turn them off. If I get stopped, I just "forgot" to turn them off.

I don't plan on getting any ticket. If I do, then I will take them off. But until then, I hope they blind you! 8)

Hey "smoothie".....we're talking "Blue Dots" not blue led's....pay attention will ya....

WTF is a blue dot then?

[MisterEd]

it's a blue transparent plastic dot....you drill a hole in your taillight and pop it in....makes the red light look kinda purple...

Thanks! That's good solid info :beer3:

Yea...good info. I was looking all over for the NJ state law. In case others want to find it, copy 39:3-50 and put in google, and it will come up with the NJ state laws for lights and such.

I am thinking of the HID sometime this year.
