Is anyone here from Kansas? Are car underglows seriously legal there?

(I am not a lawyer, this does not constitute legal advice, etc.)

This website seems to suggest they are:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Isn’t it very rare for this to be the case? I’ve read about lots of places allowing them at car shows and whatnot, but I think this is the only place (other than maybe Japan) where it seems to be legal for the vehicle to have them while in motion on a public road (with conditions).

Has anyone ever seen this in person there? I’m curious to know what legislative process was behind this such that Kansas arrived at a completely different decision than nearly every other jurisdiction in the developed world (as far as I know.)

Yes. I see underglow quite often. Mostly on bikes, but quite a few cars. It’s legal as long as it isn’t red or flashing, I believe.

I’m in KS and I’ve never seen neon lights on apart from when stationary at car shows.

“Any motor vehicle may be equipped with neon ground effect lighting, except that such lighting shall not flash, be any shade of red nor shall any portion of the neon tubes be visible. ‘Neon ground effect lighting’ means neon tubes placed underneath the motor vehicle for the purpose of illuminating the ground below the motor vehicle creating a halo light effect.” Kansas Statutes, Chapter 8, Article 17 section 8-1723(f).
