Quick (or not so quick) translation please...

My main concerns will be accented by these ***** just for easier reading.

(4) Flashing or revolving white lights may not be displayed upon a motor vehicle except (A) on fire emergency apparatus, (B) on motor vehicles of paid fire chiefs and their deputies and assistants, up to a total of four individuals per municipality, and may be displayed in combination with flashing or revolving red lights, (C) on motor vehicles of volunteer fire chiefs and their deputies and assistants, up to a total of four individuals per municipality, and may be displayed in combination with flashing or revolving red lights, (D) as a means of indicating a right or left turn, (E) in conjunction with flashing red lights on an ambulance responding to an emergency call, or (F) on the top rear of any school bus. For the purpose of this subsection, the term "handicapped students" means mentally retarded, hard of hearing, deaf, speech-impaired, visually handicapped, emotionally disturbed, orthopedically impaired or other health-impaired students, or students with specific learning disabilities, who by reason thereof, require special education and related services; ***** and the term "flashing white lights" shall not include the simultaneous flashing of head lamps.*****

(b) A blue light may not be illuminated upon a motor vehicle, except that a vehicle being operated by an active member of a volunteer fire department or company or an active member of an organized civil preparedness auxiliary fire company who has been authorized in writing by the chief executive officer of such department or company may use such a light, including a flashing blue light, while on the way to the scene of a fire or other emergency requiring his services. Such authorization may be revoked by such officer or his successor. The chief executive officer of each volunteer fire department or company or organized civil preparedness auxiliary fire company shall certify annually during the month of January, on forms provided by the commissioner, the names and addresses of members whom he has authorized to use a blue light as provided in this subsection. Such listing shall also designate the registration number on the number plate or plates of the vehicle on which the authorized blue light is to be used.

(c) A flashing green light may not be used upon a motor vehicle, except that a vehicle being operated by an active member of a volunteer ambulance association or company who has been authorized in writing by the chief executive officer of such association or company may use such a light while on the way to the scene of an emergency requiring his services. Such authorization may be revoked by such officer or his successor. The chief executive officer of each volunteer ambulance association or company shall certify annually during the month of January, on forms provided by the commissioner, the names and addresses of members whom he has authorized to use a green light as provided in this subsection. Such listing shall also designate the registration number on the number plate or plates of the vehicle on which the authorized green light is to be used.

*****(d) Use of lights except as authorized by this section shall be an infraction*****

First set: So strobes would be fine, as long as they aren't alternating between the two sides (headlights for instance), correct?

Second set: Is this used to cover everything, for instance UB kits, etc.? Kind of like a blanket sweep or something?

(b) Any vehicle, when required under subsection (b) of section 14-96e, shall be equipped with electric turn signals which shall indicate an intention to turn by flashing lights showing to the front and rear of a vehicle or on a combination of vehicles on the side of the vehicle or combination toward which the turn is to be made. The lamps showing to the front shall be mounted on the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable and, *****when signalling, shall emit white or amber light, or any shade of light between white and amber.***** The lamps showing to the rear shall be mounted on the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable, and, when signalling, shall emit a red or amber light, or any shade of color between red and amber. Turn signal lamps on vehicles eighty inches or more in overall width shall be visible from a distance of not less than five hundred feet in normal sunlight. Turn signal lamps on vehicles less than eighty inches wide shall be visible at a distance of not less than three hundred feet in normal sunlight.

Does this mean that you can have a white turn signal, with no amber cover?

Front side wing vents and windows which are not mirror-like in appearance and have a substance or material in conjunction with glazing material that has a total light transmission of not less than thirty-five per cent plus or minus three per cent and a luminous reflectance of twenty-seven per cent plus or minus three per cent;

35% total, or 35% reduced? It sounds like 35% total +/- 3% So a window tint that is 50% light transmission would still be legal, correct?

Each motor vehicle manufactured and sold on and after January 1, 1994, having a window which has been tinted or darkened with any tinted material after factory delivery shall have affixed to the lower left corner of each such window a sticker legible from outside the vehicle which indicates the sticker registration number, a certification of compliance with the provisions of this section, and such other information as the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles deems appropriate. The sticker shall be of a type which is pressure-sensitive, self-destructive upon removal, and shall not exceed one square inch in size. Prior to shipping or making any such material available in this state, for installation in a motor vehicle, the manufacturer shall apply to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles for approval and registration of its tinted material and the sticker which is to be used in the identification and certification of compliance with the light transmission and reflectance standards established under this section. The commissioner shall not approve any tinted material or sticker unless the manufacturer demonstrates that the material and sticker comply with the provisions of this section. The manufacturer shall include with each delivery of tinted material in this state for installation in a motor vehicle a sticker, approved by the commissioner, with written instructions indicating the proper location for placement of such sticker. The presence of such sticker upon the window of a motor vehicle indicates that the person who affixed the sticker certifies that the window conforms to the standards relative to light transmission and luminous reflectance specified in this section.

Not really sure about this one... Essentially you have to get a sticker that has the information (light transmission and reflectance) and you need to apply to the windows as well so that the tints are legal...? Something like that...?

For those that answer, thank you. ~Kokoro

i can help you with one. the tint one means nothing under 35% light transmistted in is legal. the law is the same here.

sounds like WI, or just about anywhere else for that matter.

strobes, blue, red, and flashing green are real bad ideas, other color non flashing lights will get you a ticket but not a reaming.

only light up when not moving, and not on or too close to a public roadway. problem solved.
