Are tire LED's legal?

If the light faces forward you might get issues with being mistaken for a snowplow.
 
The guys I ride with are cruisers/Harleys. They can get away with the colours and where they put it.

Even if the light faces forward, you will not get mistaken for a snow plow. Unless you have a really low IQ, blind and shouldn't be driving.

The link to the ad doesn't work, but if they are pods/strips that go under your fender to shine your rims, then you should be okay.

If they are those valve cap covers that lights up, I'm not going to help you. LOL
 
to the OP, anything that is ambiguous, isnt worth it IMO. even if you were to get pulled over, cop can charge for anything. and the time to research and fight tickets arent worth it... but thats just my 2 cents.
 
Use at your own peril. They're illegal.

I have also copied my response to a sticky post, since this sort of question seems to come up almost daily.
