I had yellow ones in my old cage. They kicked *** on foggy days, but I just don't know about red. Ricers are the strangest bunch of people. I think some of them have been dumped on their head too many times while trying to do stoppies. lol.

Not nearly as bad, but the other day I saw a guy riding a white Sportster with red lenses on the front turn signals. They were on while he rode, so they were real obvious. I remember thinking he might as well wear a sign saying "Pull me over"

Coloured headlight covers were popular over here with sports bike riders a few years ago. They used them in daylight as they were supposed to increase visibility to other traffic. They were usually purple, green or yellow. You don't see them fitted anymore. Don't know why.

Had a cage come up behind me in my truck early this morning in PA. Had red lookin headlights. Annoying as hell and hard on the eyes.

My daughter hit a crotchy following a car with the headlight wired into a switch and the headlight turned off. She found out later it was a new thrill for the area idiots to ride without headlights. He survived, but dad had mixed emotions when I saw the deputy carrying a motorcyclist's helmet.
