I live in upstate NY and I know that tail lights on cars can either be red or amber, but does the same apply for motorcycles? I hate amber but I don‘t want to draw any more attention from the cops either.
Yes, red is perfectly legal. Amber may not look the greatest but it will make you more noticeable to other drivers (and probably less from the cops). You could try a clear lens with an amber bulb, that's a pretty sweet look. Just an idea.
The tail and brake lights must be red. The license plate must be illuminated by a white light. Turn signals may be red, amber or white.
Only the signal light can be amber, bike or car. The tail/brake light must be red.
