not true i know for a fact it is legal in some states the laws are different in each state. in ga you can have any color except red and blue and the neons cannot flash. in fl the law states the same. ohio states and color except emergency colors(red and blue) and cannot flash. the best thing to do is stop in at a police station and ask. i have white leds on my truck and bike and i know i cant use em here in ct but i still do on my bikeand ive sat next to a cop and he didnt care. i think they are a lot less caring on bikes due to the limited visibilty.
