LED underglow on my Rattler
Got the kit in and installed today, gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with the results. It's a 7 color kit with a strobe, fade, and dimmer pattern. It can also fade in and out of all 7 color which is kinda cool. My Rat is black and red so I took the picture with the red on, but honestly, I think its the dimmest color of the 7. The white and blue are extremely bright.

And heres a YouTube link of the kit, although my phone didn't do a very good job with the changing colors IMO

In Colorado, there are some color restrictions as well as making sure the bulb or source of the light does not show from any visible angle horizontal to the light. Anything higher than 12" from roadside could also be considered bad. If you do your lighting subtle and keep it outside of the emergency color spectrum, you should be able to use it. The color red can be used without any problems. One thing to keep in mind, the light must not change, cycle, or flash... it must remain solid.
I've done quite a bit of research on underglow for motorcycles. Visibility for motorcycles is often accepted by most law enforcement agencies. If in doubt, get in touch with your local state patrol officers. Explain to them what you are wanting to accomplish by increasing visibility without sacrificing safety for others. Most of them are really helpful.

That's great, thanks for the info. I live in Arkansas and I've passed cops in both my truck and my scooter with many different colors and different patterns on and they've yet to pull me over for it(knocking on wood) haha. I actually got pulled over on my last scooter while I had my green lights on and the cop didn't even say anything about it. So ya, your best bet would probably be to check with your local law enforcement like stated above to be safe.
