Q: Can you have Christmas lights on your car in NE?
The only information I found was that you can not have red or green lights visible directly in front, and you can not have flashing or amber lights. Does this mean I can have red mounted on the sides with blue as long as they are constantly on and not flashing or rotating?
A:
Below is a statute that addresses some of the restrictions on the lights. Depending on where you drive, there are also other ordinances and laws that apply.

If you review to the below, it has some of the more well known cases on this topic, although it is not an exhaustive list.
Even if the lights aren't illegal, if you get into an accident, they might come into play as to whether they were reasonable when determining who was at fault/who was liable for the accident.
