So, is it illegal to have a light on in your car? Not by itself. But it’s like wearing a ski mask in a bank—not illegal, but people will stare. If you’re driving at night, just turn it off for safety and to avoid giving cops a reason to chat.
If you’re parked, rock that light like you’re reading a treasure map. Just don’t be a menace. And for the love of all that is holy, don’t get pulled over while holding a fork and a questionable burrito. Trust me on this one.
