Hey Illini,
I think they are cool also, the problem is blue or red are illegal in most states including Illinois and Missouri.

Does that go for the ground effect lights I see so many kids these days putting under their cars? Why would these lights be illegal? Shouldn't there be some kind of legal disclaimer somewhere on those websites? (kinda like for the Screamin Eagle pipes, or aftermarket ignition, or my S&S carb setup, or.... NOT LEGAL ON HIGHWAYS)
On the road I've seen them a lot on sports bikes and Gold Wings. At shows some of the cruisers had them to highlight the chrome. Interesting look, but heed the warning about what color is legal when. If you go for them, take some pics for us to see it.
I'll admit it. I was thinking about getting some form of aftermarket lighting for my bike. I think that not only would it look cool, but probably safer for riding at night to make you more visible.
Thanks for all the response. I just visited my friendly local HD dealer to check out the Electra-Glo product. He told me in the state of Missouri there were no illegal colors to use, but you cannot have them on while the bike is moving. However, he said the worst they would do is tell you to turn them off, unless you get a rectum of a cop. I am still thinking of getting a set this summer; the HD product is alot cheaper than the boogey light product. Which is better I don't know.
Yep no offence inteneded. And by-the-way, I was thinking for some reason you were talking about the lights that shine under the bike and stuff. I dont care for those much and they are illegal in the town I live in. The break lights and turn signals are cool and I'm actually looking into a break light for my ride. They are supposed to be more visible by traffic as well.
Don't have the lights that you mentioned but put the lighted passenger running boards on my heritage when I bought it. Add a nice glow to the ground when down and more visabiltity when riding. Also added the lighted emblem in the backrest. Man I am glad summer is coming.
If you be ridin a Harley there son, you gonna have to get some thicker skin, If you want a bunch of extra lights on your scoot go get'em, hey its your scoot right?? Just two cents from an Old Man!!!!!
do those lights come i chrome!! just kiddin.. no they aint for me either. HD guys here never use stuff like that..could catch you a beatin. but to each his own.

I have an 01 RoadKing that I had Boogie Lights installed on last year at Thunder Beach in Panama City. The lights look great and even the old timers like 'em. Bottom line was I LIKED 'EM. My bike, my money. I would let them install them because I've seen two bikes with electrical problems where "jobbers" had installed them. The amber and/or blue lights aren't legal in some states. Local cops told me City and State Cops would probably hassle me while the County Sheriff probably would not. I'm picky as to when and where I run them.
