Yeah what Coyote said. I'm pretty sure that you can't use a siren in any state but you should really check your state's laws.

:iagree: It really depends on your state. I have a siren, but can use ONLY the air horn function of that siren, and that's all I use. I have no need or desire to lose my license for impersonating a LEO.

As far as the strobes. If you are parked on the side of the road, and they warn people of a hazard, I would see nothing wrong with that. I have used mine (blue and white) when pulled over on the side of the road when other's have broken down. You can't be too careful these days. You're not putting them on to get through traffic or pretend to pull people over, so I don't think a LEO would have an issue unless they are having a REALLY bad day.

I would not use the air horn until you find out about your local laws. I believe you when you say you don't use the siren, because I do the same :yes:

This is exactly what I was talking about, some states specify what color you can use, some specify if you can have non-oem lights at all. Others require you to be affiliated with some either emergency services organization while others only require you to be posing a hazard to "vehicular traffic on a moving thourofair," explain that one to me. So you really just need to go on your states website and search for local laws and ordinances. Be careful though, some states laws dont specify, however the local city or county may have an ordinance that reflects use of such equipment.:m2:

And some towns have no idea what their ordinance is :bonk:

I was told in PA that I was to have BLUE only, and PA regulations state that you MUSt have a light visible 360 degrees, which I do not.

Last Tuesday on my way home from work, there was an accident on Interstate 78. There were no police there yet, but there was a county Fire Chief there. I stopped, and put on my lights. Made sure all were OK (which they were). Car was not in the roadway, nothing else I could do, so I went to leave. The State Trooper pulls up behind my truck. As I am getting into the truck, he says "Nice light setup!" And keeps walking

Guess that particular trooper either does not know or does not care that I need a 360 light.
