Anyone using led accent lighting? As I understand it, we can only use white or amber accent lighting. Is this true, or can we use other colors as long as they are not visible from the front of the bike?

Thanks.

Folks have used lots of different stuff...but there was a recent clarification in Texas law that specifically allows it, but only in white or amber, and it cannot flash. This is specifically for ground effect or body highlight lighting...if it projects or is too bright/projecting or distracting, the same old rules will apply...

No other colors are legal when operating on the road...although red is okay if only seen from the rear under existing rules.

So the green I have under the tank that is always on, isn't legal?
