For the most part you will be fine with amber/white. With all the different people using them now a-days I wouldn't count on a LEO bothering you.
No kidding, I don't think they let you become a contractor now days without an orange strobe set.
Haha thanks yall.

Technically, you aren't allowed to use white strobes or headlamp wig-wag unless you are a contractor or similar job. Nobody really enforces it though and I think even less people actually care. Also, depending on your job, you have the option of running red and yellow strobes. Consult a lawyer first. I stick with a single yellow roof-mounted strobe. Everyone says it looks like a government vehicle.
I only have the ones in my avatar in my grill. I pull a wide ass bushog on the trailer and sometimes block the road for.the lowboy to unload.
I don't want stuff on my roof or anything I've been looking for some cheap lights you can see though the back window.

B. *No person shall drive or move any vehicular equipment upon any highway of this state with any lamp or device thereon displaying a red or green light visible from directly in front of the center thereof. *This section shall not apply to any vehicle upon which a red or green light visible from the front is expressly authorized or required by this Chapter or by regulation of the department.
C. *Flashing lights are prohibited except on authorized emergency vehicles, school buses, or on any vehicle as a means of indicating a right or left turn, or the presence of a vehicular traffic hazard requiring unusual care in approaching, overtaking or passing.
D. *No person shall sell a dashboard, hood, vehicle front grill, or vehicle roof mounted emergency light that emits a blue or red glow, or that emits a glow in any combination of the colors red, white, and blue, to any person who is not a peace officer, a firefighter, or a person employed in the performance of emergency or public utility services. *No person shall possess such an emergency light except peace officers, firefighters, public utility, and emergency personnel. *However, vehicles which are owned and operated by members of nonprofit corporations as provided in R.S. 12:201 et seq. and which are tax exempt in accordance with Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, for exhibition in shows, parades, tours, and other special events and not for general transportation may be equipped with alternately flashing red lights and these lights may have sufficient intensity to be visible at five hundred feet in normal sunlight, provided that such use shall only be allowed when the vehicle is participating in exhibitions, shows, parades, tours, and other special events, and not for general transportation. *The secretary by rule shall establish the criteria to be used in determining which persons, other than members of such nonprofit corporations, qualify to purchase or possess emergency lights as described in this Subsection.
