Can Red and Blue Lights Be Used for Civilian Purposes?
2 Answers
Red and blue lights cannot be used for civilian purposes. Below is an introduction to warning lights: Introduction: Warning lights are generally used for maintaining road safety and are typically installed on vehicles such as police cars, engineering vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances, security management vehicles, road maintenance vehicles, tow trucks, emergency service vehicles, and machinery equipment. They are also used in electrical control circuits for machinery, power, machine tools, chemicals, telecommunications, ships, metallurgy, etc., serving functions such as control signals and interlocking. Installation Method: Warning lights have positive and negative terminals. The positive terminal should be connected to the 58 port, and the negative terminal should be connected to the screw; otherwise, the light will not flash. Basic Classification: Warning lights can be categorized based on their installation and external features into combined long-row warning lights, combined tower-shaped warning lights, small various warning lights, etc.
Red and blue lights really shouldn't be used on civilian vehicles, and I want to emphasize this point. Think about it—when people see red and blue lights flashing on the road, their first reaction is usually that it's a police car and they need to make way. But if any random car could have them, wouldn't that cause chaos? I know a friend who tried installing red and blue lights on his car, thinking it looked cool, only to be pulled over by traffic police on the spot. He was fined several hundred yuan and had to remove them—totally not worth it. Moreover, such lights are restricted by laws and regulations. For example, China's traffic laws stipulate that only emergency vehicles like police cars and fire trucks can use red and blue lights. Unauthorized installation is illegal and could result in points deducted from your license or fines. Even worse, if others imitate you, it could disrupt traffic order or even cause accidents. Safety comes first, so I advise everyone to steer clear of these things. Opt for white or yellow lights instead—they're both safe and legal. In short, don’t invite trouble for momentary vanity; driving responsibly is the most reassuring way to go.
