Section 316.2397(3) also authorizes red lights for ambulances operated by local governments or by utility companies operated by private companies. As with volunteer firefighters, doctors or medical personnel at licensed health care facilities in Florida can equip their private vehicles with red warning lights in emergency situations and operate from them. (See 316.2398.) These emergency lighting laws also help emergency vehicles and other vehicles perform important tasks. For this purpose, Florida vehicles that display lights correctly may have certain privileges to accelerate, drive red lights, or use other lanes. The lights also warn motorists and pedestrians to remain free and move so that these emergency vehicles can perform vital and other important tasks for the public. Florida prohibits showing the color red in front of vehicles. Red lights may not be visible from the front of the vehicle, so even if your neon lights are hidden under the vehicle`s chassis, you should avoid the color red. Most states now limit the color or brightness of neon lights and other replacement lighting fixtures attached to the car. Enthusiastic drivers can often go too far, so there are laws that prohibit various aftermarket modifications to ensure that other drivers are not distracted by overly flashy vehicles. For neon lighting, you can find most of these laws under “Illegal Vehicle Modifications” and “Lighting Requirements”. Commercial vehicles performing tasks such as securing utility poles or power lines must display any visual signals, such as: flashing taillights to alert motorists of their gifts. Lights: Replace burnt bulbs and clean lenses often.

Dirty headlights can cut your night vision in half. Traffic lights or burnt brake lights mean you can`t tell other drivers what you`re doing. Keep your lights set so you don`t dazzle oncoming drivers. According to Florida Law 316,220 of 2007, every motor vehicle on the road must have at least two headlights, one on each side of the front of the vehicle, showing a white light. Colored lights are not allowed in accordance with Law 316.2397 of 2007. In addition, you should avoid using red colored lighting, visible from the front of the car. Blue lights are expressly prohibited. No vehicle light, including suspension lamps, may be blue, this colour being reserved for emergency vehicles. All lights at the rear of the vehicle must be red: (Our Glorails are mounted on the side and can be considered rear mounted in certain situations, depending on the model of Glorails) Vehicles that use only a blue light must obey all traffic rules, including those relating to speed, and follow brake lights and signs.

Drivers can sound sirens and use flashing blue lights in an emergency, such as finding refugees or arming emergency vehicles carrying occupants. Neon lights, or commonly known as underlights, are very popular among car enthusiasts who want to improve the appearance of their car. Although safety issues related to incandescent lamps are less discussed, most car owners (or even motorcycles or trucks) install neon lights on their vehicles just to make them cooler. It is illegal to tamper, remove or prevent a pollution control device from working on your vehicle. Those who do so are guilty of a first- or second-degree offense, depending on the offense. Under Section 316.2397(3) of the Florida Statutes, firefighters and fire patrol vehicles may have red lights in an emergency. This includes municipal or state fire department vehicles and volunteer fire department vehicles under the conditions set forth in Section 316.2398 of the Laws of Florida. Emergency vehicle lights warn motorists of approaching police, firefighters, first responders and other emergency services in the event of an emergency. Often, especially in the case of police, blue lights can force the motorist to stop and wait for the officer. The Florida State Emergency Light Act is designed to keep motorists safe from traffic accidents involving these vehicles or from identity thieves seeking their own criminal plans. The use of floor lamps in Florida is legal.

Florida Motor Vehicle regulations expressly permit aftermarket modifications that are not expressly prohibited by other rules or regulations (see Section 316.215(2) of the Florida Statutes): According to the Florida Code of Law, the only violations that exist with respect to headlight displays, laws 316.215-316.220, are the absence of headlights, improperly displayed headlights (if the headlights are covered, tinted or otherwise obstructed), or not displaying white light in the headlight. There is no violation code in the Florida legal code for white LED headlights. This means that Florida laws do not prohibit the installation of replacement or non-mandatory lamps, so the use of neon lights is legal in Florida. Florida laws do not prohibit the use of underlighting or underbody lights in any way. For road maintenance vehicles, subsection (4) authorizes yellow lights during operation. If there is danger, these lights can be white, flashing or flashing. (Section 316.2397 x (5).) For more information on available lights, we recommend calling your State Highway Patrol office at: 850-617-2000 Blue lights are prohibited on any part of the vehicle (2) Vehicles or equipment, other than police vehicles, are expressly prohibited from displaying or displaying blue lights. However, vehicles owned, operated or leased by the Department of Corrections or a county correctional agency may display or display blue lights during emergency response.
