Legal issues with rear-facing lights ...?


Great start but make sure you also check everything available. Find everything because there usually are several different code/law chapters applicable. Some states have applicable laws in different codes. Wa. has two codes RCW and WAC laws applying to just about everthing including vehicles.

Did a quick google search for PA some may apply specifically and others generally. Personally I would go to your Police Department and ask them what laws/codes they use to enforce all traffic laws. Again find the person that knows not someone guessing. I found these for PA that have lighting requirements also.

Chapters 153
Title 75 Chapter 43 Don't get hung up on when enacted as the most recent amendment I saw without digging into it was 2006 so it is still in use.
 
Dude, where did you get those light switches !! So clean and the labeling , I want!!

Those are factory switches for the FJ Cruiser. I moved the switches that are normally located there (center diff lock, downhill assist, traction control defeat)to my center console and used the under dash slots for my lighting as you see in the pic above.
 
I got a ticket for no covers, showed the cop that the weather pack connectors were not plugged in, he did not care. $25.00 fix it ticket. And i got a ticket for having my license plate on the fender of a trailer in the vertical position, same huntington Beach cop. a$$hat.
Seems cops are not hip to the LED light thing yet, i would just do it if i were you. 20" BD light bar is a lot of light for a rear facing light.

Side bar, just checked a Baja Designs onx bar on a friends race truck, that is one awesome light bar, i swear it is brighter then my BD HID'S, just does not have the same throw.

Here is my truck that got the fabulous light infraction ticket.

Should've asked him where's his cover for all the light on his car, LOL.
So all you had to do was put a cover on to get the ticket signed off?
 
I see..

Those are factory switches for the FJ Cruiser. I moved the switches that are normally located there (center diff lock, downhill assist, traction control defeat)to my center console and used the under dash slots for my lighting as you see in the pic above.

I'm going to have to assume those would fit into the dash or center console of a 2004 Toyota 4runner. They look almost identical. Plus they are flush with the surface, unlike the switches that come with KC lights that stick out about an inch.
 
Off topic question. Where are you guys routing the wires from inside to outside when you put the relay by the jack? 4th gen specifically.
