beadlocks

its probably not the lights, but the color of the lights. you would have to check your states vehicle code, but i speculate that blue exterior lights is probably prohibited in every state- the justification being that blue lights are for emergency vehicles only.

in cali, we have regulations as to how many "fog", "driving", "parking", and "running" lights we can have illuminated while driving on a public roadway (where the vc is enforced). so the number of lights that you have illuminated might have had something do do with it as well. i'm not familiar with your setup, or your state's vc, so i don't know for sure.

on the subject of wheels, i'm familiar with the vc here in cali, and i have friends that are very credible sources for this info. while researching beadlocks, i did some research about the legality of running them on the streets- and found nothing. i found a bunch of prerunner guys that constantly get pulled over for everything but their wheels being beadlocks, and i was also told, "the wheels need to be able to safely support the weight of the vehicle."

some beadlock wheels (omf, for example) use regular wheels that you could mount on any truck, and modify them to be beadlocks. so there is another question- if those wheels are 'legal' and you modify them into a beadlock wheel, but it doesn't change the integrity of the wheels ability to support the weight of the vehicle, what exactly makes it illegal? probably part of the reason why this is not in lawbooks.

i'm not trying to convince you, i'm just trying to convey info i found through some research that you might find usefull.
