blue dot tail lights

At one time, they were illegal, in some states. You, probably, won't get stopped, nowdays.

They may look cool to some folks, but I had to remove mine after getting stopped by the law in Dawsonville, Georgia because all the officer could see was mostly the blue color, and very little red, coming from my rear running/brake lights. I now have another car that came with blue dot taillights and they will also be coming off in favor of the original all red lenses. I probably have three sets of these blue dot taillights that I won't be needing. If anyone would like to buy a set....let me know.
 
I remember following a friend one night several years ago that had them on the back of his '34. We probably went eight or ten miles. Looking at those things actually made me feel nauseous by the time we got to our destination. DD
 
I had Blue Dot's on my '41. I found them to be bad at night. Very dim. Changed back to regular lenses. Much brighter now. What made me check them was that on non city roads people whould come up on me pretty fast at night. Pulled in for gas once and a guy pulled in and said "your taillights suck."
 
Like the other guys said, they are worthless. They look good on a dark night but during the day, you are living on the edge!

Here in California,blue lights are considered an emergency color.If the bulb is in the right position, they show up purple.I have them. I like them.
 
Hi there, Blue dots appear to reduce the light output somewhat especially on the stoplights at night. Other ordinary drivers following behind wonder what the hell they are looking at. Dangerous in my book. I think they are a 1950s invention and never on pre war cars. Illegal in some states. Ordinary red rear lights much safer and look better in my opinion. Regards, Kevin.
 
I once read that blue dots first appeared on Duesenburgs as stock equipment. Can't prove that as none of my friends own one.
 
Tony M got it right along with the safety factor others have mentioned..
They just don't look right in a 40.
 
I might be in the minority but, I love Blue Dots and I've run them on most of my Flatheads for almost 50 years, and I've never been pulled over or gotten a traffic ticket because I was running blue dots...;)
 
My cars has them on for the last 15 years I never gave them a second through I sort of like them on my 36
