CHP reminds truckers that those ‘angry eyes’ LED windshield lights aren’t road legal

This week, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) issued a reminder to truckers about legal lighting devices for commercial vehicles.

On October 1, 2025, troopers with CHP’s Mission Grade Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility took to social media to let the trucking community know that the popular animated LED windshield eyes are not in compliance with regulations due to their color.

“Just a reminder that the only authorized lights on the front of your vehicle are white and amber. Angry eyes, although cool, are not road legal. Let’s keep it safe and compliant!” CHP said.
