it doesnt have red headlights, it has a red led mounted inside of the projector housing which strictly acts as an accent color...i do those quite frequently when retrofitting headlights for people and for the most part i use RGB leds with a bluetooth module so that you can shift the color to any of the 16,000,000 hues RGB leds allow you to reproduce....yes, they are kind of "to each his own" taste but i will say that when done right they can actually look pretty damn aggressive and not that ricey at all

I know for sure that in Texas that is the case, as when I lived there, I actually checked the applicable laws as I thought RED front SIGNAL lamps on a motorcycle would help to make it more visible to car drivers, but when I checked the wording f Texas state law, it specifically disallowed the use of any red lighting on the front of a vehicle, and flashing red was particularly forbidden because it would falsely make the vehicle appear to be a police vehicle.

It really is not that bad when all the other lights in the housing are on as well....a lot of my customers DO use them for shows but a lot also have them set up so that when they leave their vehicle parked somewhere only the accent light stays on giving a kind of haunted/mysterious look.. Like it or not it is more times than not a conversation starter....
....as for the legality it has nothing to do with brake light mistaken identity....you cannot run the following colors forward facing on any vehicle in the US due to service vehicle status:
Blue-Police
Red-Fire/Rescue
Yellow-Service(ie. Power,Gas,Water,Sanitation)
Most areas are pretty lax about enforcing it unless some idiot has LED strobes installed and is driving around strobing Blue like their 5.0
If you want to see well done then go to LightWerkz YouTube link below and scan through their videos....it's ok though, you're going to be impressed and I'm not going to make fun of you when you have one of those "Oh, that's bad as Hell!" moments!!!
