Q: I live in Maryland and want to put led lights on my carCan I have lights on while driving?Tire lights?Front lights
A:
In Maryland, the laws governing the use of LED lights on vehicles are specific and must be followed to avoid legal issues. Under Maryland law, vehicles are prohibited from displaying red or blue lights visible from directly in front of the center of the vehicle. This is generally to prevent confusion with emergency vehicles.
Additionally, any lights that impair the vision of other drivers or are considered a distraction are not permitted. Tire lights, underglow lights, and certain types of front lights might fall under these restrictions.
It's essential to check the latest Maryland Vehicle Law regarding vehicle lighting to ensure compliance. If you're considering installing LED lights on your car, you may want to consult with local authorities or a legal professional to understand the specific regulations and avoid potential violations. Always prioritize safety and legal compliance when customizing your vehicle.
