Seems like a projected overlay on glass/plastic lens. As in, when headlights are on you see headlights when headlight LED is off the image projection Can be seen. Likely admitted from a separate light source than actual headlights. Hopefully
I want this on the back of the car. Someone honks at you or tailgates & the eyes pop open, look around, then focus on the car behind you & become squinty, angry eyes.
So replacing the "running lights" with screens that show eyes? Legality aside, not sure it's a great idea to replace those unless you plan on driving with full headlights in lower, but still light conditions like light fog, daylight rain, etc...
You might also enjoy the WTF Collective. There's a number of them but the first one is honestly the best with diminishing returns the higher the number goes. Two is almost as good as 1.
I think the only laws are on colour. So they'd have to be orange or white but I doubt there is an actual law on the books banning heavily stylized marker lights as a concept
Nope but I'm guessing it's something they can turn off or detach... so I doubt they're driving with it. Although people do much stupider shit and do drive with it so yknow, depends
Hah i'm from germany, nothing loike this is legal here :) On the plus side, every two years your car is checked by TÜV and any illegal modifications they find or stuff that is dangerous to drive will be the end of your driving time until fixed.
Pretty sure you cannot have red, blue or green lights on the front of any car. I believe those are reserved for emergency and city vehicles, only in the front.
A lot of jurisdictions don't allow headlights of any colors outside of white and incandescent amber. Not only can they be distracting, but they don't provide detailed enough illumination at night or in adverse conditions.
Nope. Most headlight color kits are not. Only white and amber are allowed on the front of a car. All those colored rights are not lawful. Underbody glow is not legal while driving. Only while parked. Thank goodness Texas is doing away with safety inspections to only do emissions so this crap can slide along with people driving all those junkers.
Accountability for inspections was hardly enforced. I did inspections here in Texas for 3 years and was "secretly" audited (spotted the dude from a mile away) exactly one time. I could have passed out thousands of inspection stickers where all I did was input the data without completing the physical steps. Pissed a lot of people off who were used to "tipping" their way into a passing inspection.
Not to belittle emissions tests but that seems backwards. Both are public health hazards but if I was going to target one or the other I am going to pick addressing the violently kinetic one.

Just something else to distract drivers - if they aren’t blinding they are tantalizing 👀

Is that fun car-accessory or fun-car accessory?

A Funny Car accessory. Not to be confused with a clown car.

That would be fun if somebody made that on their own. At the same time completely illegal if you get caught driving with it on

In addition it probably counts as a driving distraction as well.

If "driving distractions" were illegal, you wouldn't be able to drive a Wienermobile.

Yup, my state is one of them. No under lights here either.

What’s distracting is blindingly bright headlights on a truck in my eyeline

If it distracts me enough to stop and look on imgur...probably not a good thing for me to see while I'm trying to drive

Rolling coal is illegal in Colorado, but unfortunately the cops never charge anyone for it.

Plus it's only a $100 fine if they did.

I'm fairly sure you can report the plate, truck, time, and location to the state. Not sure if EPA has a report number too but they should.
Magnar1183
I would love to, but it's pretty damn hard when you can't see the plate due to the smoke obscuring my vision.

Only 17 counties in Texas do emissions inspections. I used to work at an auto shop. So many people just go to the next countie over.
