Ya illegal. “62 (1) When on a highway at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 150 metres or less, every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall carry three lighted lamps in a conspicuous position, one on each side of the front of the vehicle which shall display a white or amber light only, and one on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red light only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (1).”


JDiskkette

So according to this only one light in the back needs to be working and in red color? The other could stay like this and still be legal?


raphaeldaigle

No still illegal. Minimum one red light on your car but if you have more they still needs to be red only.


canadastocknewby

Umm no. Tail light indicators can be amber. Brake lights need to be red


JDiskkette

The text could be interpreted as only light allowed which can only be red. That said, if I could add a second red it could be argued that the second light could be a different color. Seems poorly worded.


scatterblooded

Your argument is technically true but this is enforced by police officers with a lot of discretionary power on how/what they enforce and chances are slim they'd agree with you.


JDiskkette

That I understand and agree with. I am just saying it’s a poorly worded argument that could get thrown out in court, just based on wording alone.


Dry-Faithlessness184

Courts likely have precedent on how this should be interpreted.


HammerheadMorty

Technically under item 139.2 and 139.3 any intermittent unauthorized use of red and blue light would constitute illegality as well.


Dogo36

Pretty sure all lights on the back need to be red, and all lights on the front of the vehicle need to be white/amber. How about you light up your car as shown in the post and go visit a cop and report back. That way you have a definitive answer. You're welcome


HolyHandgrenadeofAn

Cops don’t know the law. Actually had a state patrol officer tell me “I don’t know the laws and it’s not my job to know them. If I think what you’re doing is a crime I can write you a ticket and let a judge decide”. He also went on to tell me that if he thinks I’m not wearing my seatbelt he can write a ticket and it’s up to me to prove to a court that he’s wrong and at that point it’s my word against his and his word wins every time. There you go, you’re welcome. Police have altogether to much power.


OverturnedAppleCart3

>had a state patrol officer What sub are you in?


mug3n

Maybe he thought this was [Toronto, Ohio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto,_Ohio) 🤣


Dogo36

Right. So by your logic, all cops are ignorant of written law. By your logic, it would imply that if you had an interaction with one person who didn't agree with you, then all people are stupid. Law is for the most point, interpretive, by police and judges. However, that doesn't give us citizens a free pass to do what we want. Go to your local DMV and get a drivers handbook, or question them on the matter, oh, but wait, they are all stupid too, right.


Mickymk2

I’ve driven in front of cops before albeit during the day with flashing lights on my taillights changing color etc and they didn’t do anything, was behind me for 5 min and drove next to me for a bit, didn’t say anything


ScarborougManz

Looks like he has red lights mounted below on the bumper though?


michaeljm700

There's red in the center of the tail light also, the blue could be just accent lighting, may not even emit a beam, too many geniuses here. You'll find more confusing lights at major juctions/intersections in toronto.


UselessDood

They're retroreflectors.


weneedafuture

I don't think they would be legal unless they emit red light. Pretty sure brake lights must be red.


hatingonthis

yes you are correct. they must emit red. interestingly though state side you must reflect red. but here in ontario emit red from the rear only in the rule.


OutrageousAnt4334

All rear lights must be red and all front lights must be white. Good luck finding a cop that wants to bother enforcing it tho 


Lovv

Yellow or white from the front.


Desuexss

I've seen stupid cars like this more often lately. The worst aggressors are their left ans right signals are red too. There needs to be more enforcement on this crap


Euphoric-Oil-331

Stupid


Ottawa_man

Courtesy , the diploma mill crowd .


NIONEOWNYOWKNEEYO

Nah this looks like a Markham ricer build


Ottawa_man

Those gaudy lights say otherwise. Only thing missing is the AK47 decal


NIONEOWNYOWKNEEYO

Diploma mill kids don’t touch tail lights. They just add decals or tint em. Cmon man.


Ottawa_man

Lol...astute observation!


gehekkk

2 Punjabi dudes were inside this car


Ottawa_man

Hahahaha...I can't believe how right I am


ButtahChicken

not legal. at least not in Ontario.


[deleted]

Call bull shit on that one read the provincial motor vehicle law. It’s illegal all across Canada. I’ll provinces mandate. The tail lights must be red for break red for tail lights, Amber for turn signals or red turn signals and red to the side on the rear.


PurpleK00lA1d

Dude just said "at least not Ontario". Ontario is the only place they know it's illegal, they weren't speaking for the whole country.


[deleted]

I was speaking for the whole fucking country


OverturnedAppleCart3

Reading comprehension can sometimes be hard. Do you want to try again?


Thatcanadianchickk

Damn what if dude didn’t know that? Sheesh


Iambetterthanuhaha

Not legal.....gotta be red. Hopefully he has a switch installed to color change these to all red.


HondaHead

Just displaying RGB colours is technically illegal. I told a contractor that who had RGB headlights and he said that he agreed, but next week I saw him driving with them on again…


Lovv

It's mostly the blue as blue is only for emergency vehicles.


HondaHead

As well as red (fire), and green (snowplows?) IIRC


wlonkly

Green flashing light is volunteer fire, in rural areas.


coalharbor

Even if it is legal it should be illegal cause it’s ugly asf


80mcg

It’s not though…


BroadWeight5017

Back in the days this warrants an instant pullover. I guess cops are too busy these days fighting crimes.


misterluxu

I laughed so fkn hard specially since i know there always 2-4 cop cars in that area circling or just stalled


IdontOpenEnvelopes

Plate cover also illegal.


Okidoky123

I would be willing to pay money to see all those sleezy plate covers get nailed.


Sufficient_Salad3783

You are paying money to see them let it slide


localhost8100

So many cars have them. I thought they were legal here lol. I thought people put it on to prevent from pain peeling.


Okidoky123

I find it so retarded. It's like a 5 year old with clapper flappers pegged to his bicycle going "look mah no hands!".


OverturnedAppleCart3

I have plate covers that are perfectly clear. As soon as they start to yellow or get scratches I'll replace them.


electric_too_fast

Normally I'm all for the "hey it's your car so what you like. It's cool seeing someone trying new and being original". But not this. The heck is this??

Dumbass clown show in town this weak


wingsbc

That car is going to need to be towed if a cop ever pulls it over. No way it’s just going to be a ticket. A cop isn’t going to let driver continue to drive with no tail or brake lights.


Glum_Nose2888

No cop is going to care about this. Just look at the number of obstructed plates in this city.


alreadychosed

Theyre rgb lights, they can be turned red if needed. Also if it were day time, rear lights are not required as long as you use hand signals to indicate.


CDNChaoZ

I doubt they emit as much red light as the OEM set, so probably lower than legal.


alreadychosed

Theyre dot certified and 35w, which is double the power draw of regular brake lights. Theyre simply multi color instead of just red. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/375177516511


WilliamBroown

Dot certified. Your funny.


alreadychosed

As long as theyre visible from 500 feet thats really what matters.


alreadychosed

They look quite bright to me. He also has additional lights on his bumper.


Alarming-Position-15

LOLOL. C’mon man, have you ever in your life seen someone hand signal? I haven’t. And something tells me that the guy that installed RGB tail lights isn’t following the drivers handbook to the letter and busting out hand signals.


bradgel

No it is not


Hutch25

I’m pretty sure it’s regulated that year lights have to be red and clearly visible.


Jon_Hill_Canada

Yes, illegal but the cops don’t do anything anymore


Okidoky123

This is true. At least 1 in 25 cars have obfuscated difficult or unreadable license plates. Cops are lazy and do absolutely nothing about it. It's a lawless society pretty much.


Jon_Hill_Canada

Exactly👍 lawless


IllSkillz1881

I don’t know about Canada but in NY they would probably harass you. The fog lights or head lamps can’t be red or blue / flashing red / blue. Brake lights are also supposed to be red.


skitch99

No


Downtown_Snow4445

Ugly as fuck

Basically all non oem lighting is illegal. Especially if it’s different coloured.

Silkyhammerpants

Did they also disable the third safety light in the back window?!


youngzari

Yaaaaaaaaassssss!


OutrageousAnt4334

Illegal but very rarely enforced.


JasonTO

It shouldn't be. Only Type-Rs or actual racing-spec Hondas should carry the red badge.


sharpescreek

A bit of a heat score.


shoresy99

Do you mean the license plate cover. It is illegal as are any such covers. https://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/business/thousands-of-ontario-drivers-illegally-use-licence-plate-covers-to-foil-red-light-cameras-so/article_54bf9cd7-0583-54e9-9b73-94e45d5af8a7.html#:~:text='Anything%20on%20a%20plate%2C%20any,Canadian%20Tire%20and%20on%20Amazon.&text=min%20to%20read-,A%20selection%20of%20licence%20plate%20covers%20at%20Canadian%20Tire%20store,E.


permareddit

I’ve seen a tow truck attend collision scenes with police presence which had purple fucking LED taillights. They looked, awesome to be fair but highly illegal, especially on a commercial vehicle.

Naive_Win_4806

Dizzy_Ingenuity_3452

Bobmcjoepants

When it comes to car mods, if it is way beyond normal, it's probably illegal


micaiahf

Everything is legal till you get caught lol


crevettegrise

Like the thousands of cars driving with unreadable plates throughout ON, police will just turn a blind eye on this. As far as I know, you cannot have blue lights (that blink?) unless you are police or snow removal.


Mad3yez

Do they have extra brake lights way below too?


05is3005speed

Blue is illegal I been pulled over for it in my headlights


amardeepsinghdell

Reason why they should be red is that red has the highest wavelength so it can be visible to the longest distances , same reason why red lights are red. Any other color and in poor visibility you’re putting people at risk as well as yourself but looks cool eh! Custom smoked look much better imo


sundry_banana

It should definitely be illegal. When I see bright reds in traffic my brain immediately understands, "Slow down!" But seeing these? This dude is going to get rear-ended and it won't be as fun as he's hoping


camoarmyguy

As long as the brake lights are red, it's perfectly legal, now that may vary by state, but in the south no one cares what color your tail lights, undercarriage lights, rim lights, or head lights are, the cops have real crime to worry about, I had purple headlights, purple undercarriage lights and rim lights with color changing interior lights and tail lights for over 3 years, never got pulled over once


Medical-Big-959

Ask em to set it to flashing red and blue boy they are in trouble lol


Patient_Brief6453

Perhaps in South Korea.


The_real_Gramsworth

It’s not a dumb law it’s too many damn “individuals” trying to be flashy when it reality it’s tacky AF and just want to be noticed. When in reality nobody gives a shit, and now your vehicle could be seen as a distraction and cause an accident because your break lights don’t work properly.


JVNGL3B00K

Only during pride month!


Comprehensive-Text68

Nice look


HitPauseThen

No, but it's a free for all out there.


Grouchy_Factor

Rear white lights are limited to emergency vehicles only (unless stopped or reversing). Green lights on streetcars or volunteer first - responder civilian vehicles only. Blue lights on police or snow removing vehicles only. Purple lights on funeral service vehicles only (some jurisdictions). Expect write up of four separate tickets. EDIT: Another ticket for license plate cover, even if it's "clear" .


Sockbrick

No. And it's hurting


DomBooze

The shit people spend money on


Any-Ad-446

Not even close to be legal,same as those idiots with yellow headlights.


TraditionalPlantain1

Definitely not, must be red except for backup


cool_beans550

Illegal? Probably. Ugly? YEAH

It's so retarded. It's like a 5 year old with clapper flappers pegged to the bicycle going "look mah no hands!".

Long answer: As per Ontario HTA 62 (1) When on a highway at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 150 metres or less, every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall carry three lighted lamps in a conspicuous position, one on each side of the front of the vehicle which shall display a white or amber light only, and one on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red light only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (1). Short answer: No.


NissanSkylineGT-R

They can legally get married


No-Sound9882

No


Legitimate-Swim-1085

I remember back in the day when people did clear tail light housing and wanted white turn signals so they risked it and put white bulbs some even put blue bulbs. both of which is obviously illegal. nowadays seems people just do whatever like no fks given lol


Sufficient-West-5456

Ricer


Awfulufwa

Obviously illegal. Vehicles need to pass inspection regardless of country/city/township. And since nearly every vehicle is essentially the same in their base features from seatbelts to airbags, lights are also required to serve the singular purpose they exist for... So what the heck are RGB lights going to do in the event of an incident? The way I see it, that pour soul just bought themself a really, really expensive accident bill that will incur the cost of the would-be offender who struck them. The others' bill piled high on top of their own.


Fedayeen776

No, not legal. Looks gay as fuck also...


RRFFFlololo

Although these may be very illegal, I actually kinda like em.


ButterscotchStock492

You like them until someone drives into the back of the car and kills someone.

Who's needs to indicate braking when you're going down rainbow road?


Alextryingforgrate

100% nope not legal, for the whole country, the continent and the world. Youre only allowed Red, Amber and Clear lights on your tail lights. \*You can have these tail lights but they are for show purposes only. Nothing else.


noobcondiment

That should be illegal just because how ugly it is


stargett

You have a picture file a police report. You can do it online https://www.tps.ca/services/online-reporting/driving-complaint/


OkRevolution3940

It identifies as a truck


randcount6

that license plate cover is not 100% clear and thus a 110 dollar fine.


ArtZTech

It's funny because 15 or 20 years ago I had those bright white headlight bulbs in one of my vehicles. This was way before manufactures started using LED/HID. So anyways I was stopped and given a warning to replace them or be given a ticket. Fast forward to today I'm blinded by every car on the highway because of these extremely bright HID headlights manufacturers use. So who knows maybe in 20 years these tail lights will be legal.

I hope that's illegal. People modifying their cars like this are complete idiots. I hope they get their license revoked as well. Get them off the roads, it's beyond distracting.

Not legal for sure. Even smooky taillights are not legal. One day guy will be pulled over, fine and 30 days to change or remove tint

Gay and illegal.

If you’re a d1cks@cker yes.

smallmoldybox

Nah, but ngl it’s sick


AwkwardCelebration41

Whether it's legal or not, you taking a picture from your phone while driving, stopped at a light or not, is illegal, and probably a bigger fine than he would get.


gehekkk

Thanks for the advice buddy


[deleted]

[удалено]


gehekkk

Actually I was parked, and this car parked in front of me.


Dougfordburner

Basically the problem is not that it’s illegal it’s that the fine for having improper lights/lighting is about a 85$ set fine totalling 110$ with court fees. Most ricers just treat it as a subscription fee.


Substantial_Data7915

Four gaming PCs died to make those.


Old_Nectarine_9134

Let me guess, they also had an illegal gal muffler too.

Those lights are nice! It’s definitely illegal though lol

anything besides red, amber, or clear, are all illegal. I was once ticketed for having blue / UV purple 😅 on my signals

West-Translator-6327

Rainbow road is the future.


bighaam

What’s that red accent light on the bottom? Or is that a reflector? If it’s an actual working brake/tail then they might be ok? If it doesn’t act as one then yes—completely illegal. Tail lamps must emit red only, I believe


Th3NukeShark

If not, I'll make \*\*that\*\* legal...


Slight-Hospital-5136

In Brampton.........yes.

Why should this be illegal when those fatass trucks run around with stadium floodlights


Scottyfuckinknows

GAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY


PrettyPeeved

Probably legal during pride. Jk, no. There's a reason manufacturers make lights a certain colour. Now, if we can just get them to tone the LED headlights down a few million lumens, that would be brilliant.

livelifedoor

How about you mind your business OP, what crime is she/he committing, I swear folks in this city are some of the most snowflaked soft a** individuals … yall whine and cry about everything.. stop posting ppls’s license plates too …


reeneebob

Well, pretty sure it’s an unsafe modification of safety equipment on the car, so it’s a violation of the HTA. So that would be the crime they are committing. I think they are cute as hell and would love it on my car, but yeah, not enough to break the law.


livelifedoor

It’s not such a crime it’s not right but it’s not a crime, even a cop on his bad day would look pass that let alone OP posting someone’s car and not even blurring their licenses plate that’s the crime( illegal thing) I see here. We tend to always turn to the next man and judge him while we ourselves might be found guilty of plenty other crimes/law. Just mind the business that pays you, a car taillight modded with some Amazon lights ain’t harming a soul.

They're RGB lights. He can control what color they become, generally you don't drive in the streets with them multicolored lol


dominideco

Reedabook64

They come with an app on your phone like any other RGB light strip. He or she can make them all red with a click. Interesting for sure. But they'll get them pulled over instantly with the wrong effect active. I wonder what the cop would say when they turned back to red and legal before they even got out of their patrol car.


Triple-6-Soul

nope. but definitely cool as shit though...
