Some of these lights are overdone and flicker. Blinding to on coming carts.

Means you might be good on the MMP's but not on a public street.
You are 110% correct!

OMG


There is no way a "Copper" is going to pull me over because I have LED's under my golf cart because it's red or blue or green, or yellow.

:beer3:
Oh yes they will. You're OK with green and yellow

Thanks.

Fair enough but I should have also asked if these were blue headlights or the bluish tint that some lights have.

Either way, as dewilso pointed out, I’m not too worried about being stopped.
Yes, that goes for blue headlights or blue halo rings around the headlights.

Law enforcement has no authority whatsoever on the multi modal path.
Except for two exceptions, someone broke the law on the streets and trying to avoid apprehension go onto the paths. Then law-enforcement has a right to pursue them. Secondly, if there is an accident with injuries, the police may come onto the path and if the person is drunk they can be charged with DUI. These are basically the only times they can be on the path, they cannot do any speed enforcement

There actually are some newer golf carts out there that have blinding white led head lights. Some with spot light type leds, same thing and it is a bit much.

Why the deer hunting lights on a golf cart, blinding drivers of oncoming carts or cars? Common sense for safety out the window.
That's what I've asked myself. What's with the deer hunting lights aimed everywhere else but the cart path blinding oncoming drivers? Are they that vision impaired?

It has been done. The logic is that only police may have blue and or red lights. They are hoping to prevent someone impersonating a police vehicle and taking advantage of some citizen. While an officer may not pull you over just for a blue light under your golf cart, it can be used as a reason to stop you and then go on from there.

False.

Go thru Missouri, Go thru Kansas, Go thru Colorado.

I believe my friend got a warning ticket in the last 60 days and had to change all of the blue lights on his yesteryear golf cart. This was the north part of TV

Not illegal on the MMP not on roadway.

Blue lights
 
We have lights around our headlights that change colors to what we set or to music from our phones. I have them set for red white and blue but guess I should change that?

I had a similar experience at the corner of St James and Bailey a few years ago. Golf cart approaching rapidly from rear with blue lights just before dawn. Lights began flashing when about 25 yds back. I turned corner and pulled over. As he rounded corner behind me I shouted my displeasure and questioned legality of blue lights on motor vehicle on road. He stopped and offered a colorful nasty response from his Blue U of K adorned cart.

If you have the rows of little LED bulbs, maybe you could just alternate the red and blue bulbs every other one, so the undercarriage glows purple. Problem Solved! LOL
