Red or Orange tail lights
Ok I just had Auxiliary Brake Light / Running Light / Turn Signal Conversion Kit - Flat Lens Style intstalled On my heritage (chrome yellow) classic. I noticed that the orange turn signals are now red. Is red more visible? What's your experience or research. Curious if I should keep red on or put orange back on.
Take a look at THIS. It covers the motorcycle laws for all states.
EDIT: After a closer look it appears that this site doesn't cover brake light color requirements. Still a good resource regardless...

The funny thing about this is that it is legal for the signals to be red in CA, but not the brake lights orange.

It seems that Delaware makes no distinction on color mandate. My original question and point was not pertaining to the wall but rather to safety- hence my original question is read easier to see then orange?

Confusing......
Look at some of the new cars,,, some have Red and some have Orange stop lights..
After I got the run/stop/brake mod I added smoked lens at all 4 corners..
Then I bought Orange/Yellow Heavy-Duty bulbs. I still have the RED stop lens on the rear, Though I've not been all over out west, I have been in 8 states here in the Mid Central part of the country and haven't had the first issue so far.
IMO and others U can see the yellow light further than the Red one for running lights.
