Didn't read the entire thread, so apologize in advance if mentioned already... but maybe put the amber covers back on the front, they are still bright.....unless they count the light regardless of color...

Some states see the flashing red tail light as a violation also. I had a conversation with a Chicago LEO about mine few back. He read the law to me word for work. While it did not say tail lights or stop light it clearly out law-ed any flashing red light. Of course he said that it would be a cold day in hell before he had time to mess with stuff like that.
I have the CD front turn signals and I am keeping them. If I get a ticket I wil put one heck of a fight on in court and use most current autos as an example.
Yes I have 4 white lights to the front. Third bike I have has setup like this.

It varies from state to state. Having white running (or "park") lights/turn sigs is legal in Texas (last time I read the traffic code that is). If CD made an all amber version of what I have, I'd jump on 'em. In fact, I think I'll go visit their website.

There are plenty of ways to light up the front and rear lawfully.
Should one choose not too, then you risk a ticket, just like anyone else, whether its a truck, car or bike.

Where I live anyway if you are on the road after about 10pm on a bike you are first assumed to be a possible OVI canidate and they will use any excuse legit or not to get you pulled over for closer inspection. So my point is that while you may not get a ticket it is zero reassurance that you wont get pulled over for it.

Gotta Love South Carolina. Nice simple traffic laws. I have 7 white lights up front on my FLHTK. 1 Headlight, 2 passing lamps, 2 CD Driving lights on the calipers, 2 white signals that turn yellow when on and if ya add the amber fender light actually makes 8. I'm all about visibility. Havent' had any issues here with them
