You under the highway traffic act are not to have any flashing red lights that can be interpereted as an emergency vehicle. Such light as red underglow and any light that flashes red(primary taillights) or white(reverse lights) are illegal. The reason is that people who may not be fully attentive to their suroundings may react the wrong way thinking that you are an Emerg. Serv. Veh.
I know this because I had my trunk light do that and the OPP pulled me over and were going to IMPOUND my vehicle and issue and impersonation ESV ticket (up to $5000) but I told him I could take it out at that minute and would not put it back in.
And remember that Ontario is trying to pass laws that would give the Police more freedom to pull us over if our vehicle looks like a potential Street Racing type car. So that light could give them a reason to pull you over if they don't use the reason I was pulled over for.
