Virginia roof-mounted light bar - off road/on road question?

Postby urian27 » Sat Nov 19, 2011 12:22 pm

This has probably been asked a million times on here, but I can't find an answer that fits yet.

If a person has a Delta SkyBar for his Jeep Wrangler, non-police/ems, is it legal to mount to a Jeep in Virginia? If yes, what are the rules (links OK)? If not, explain. This light-bar is similar to the police bars, but clear lights for driving, and no flashers or blinkers are attached (doesn't work like a cruiser light bar). Low profile. Non-round lights, not like what you see on most off-road vehicles. Six 4.5 Xenon driving lights, 330 maximum watts of power.

I would *assume* this bar is like other bars, legally, but in Virginia courts that can get you fried and hung out to dry. The judge doesn't know the laws, so it is up to the officer and the 'criminal' to prove the better case, by hook or crook, lies or whatever.

Thanks in advance,

Don't know your local laws..but as long as you don't turn them on in public streets then you should be good. Just make sure they're for off road use or when someone is driving too slow then show them what daylight looks like late at night ;)

COPS are haters but you have every right to off road and as long as they don't flash red blue or different colors then you should be fine.
