IS MY MOD LEGAL?

Light Bars & LED Lighting in Kentucky

Vehicle type: Sedan

Conditional

Kentucky sets no lamp-count or candlepower cap and requires no cover — but it prohibits retrofit headlamp covers and films that change the color of emitted light, so a tinted cover is itself a violation. Front-visible light must be white or amber unless it is original equipment, and blue is prohibited.
