    i have seen trucks with colored lights on the back of there sleeper and i was curious if it is legal or if drivers just turn them off if they see dot. i know they can be red but i want to put green and ive had some people tell me as long as im not bobtail im ok but i dont know if those people are the most reliable.

    Blue isn't legal, I co-drove a Pete that had Purple lights on it, the lead driver got called into the scale for having them on.

    Read the laws, most states allow white, amber, orange to the front, Red and amber to the rear.
