Oh Heck ya rocking it Old School

[Lannis]

I never have figured out what those things were for.

Even when I were a lad, "old guys" were as proud as a peacock if they had bored a hole in their taillight lenses and clipped a "blue dot" in there.   They'd even add it in as a "look at THIS" in their ad when they sold the car (along with a "Genuine LeBaron-Bonney Interior").

What do they do?  I'll bet a cop with a rule book would tell you what you WON'T do with them, and that's ride by him on HIS beat again ... !

 It's now legal in Illinois. They passed it last year. Heck,  I'm not sure what they do either, but I like it. 😎

 Ran a blue dot for years on different Triumphs , never got hassled by the man . Still think they are cool . They don't have to do anything , but the visual effects can get a drivers attention .

What do they do?

   
   1)  They set you apart from the masses
   B) When placed properly, directly in alignment with the brake light filament, they turn the light emitted purple.
   3)  They are cool Daddy O

They set you apart from the masses.......my Guzzis, MuZ, MP3s, Aprilia 500GT already do that.     Don't need no stinkin' blue dot.

Sorry Dusty - Did a search for the source but its been a year or two since I copied that pic and I forgot where it came from.

The 'Flying Eye' light looks like a prop for a Harry Potter movie.

I save pics with interesting designs .....

You're not going to get a tail light tattoo with a blue dot in the middle are you? If you put it on the back of your head, it will be easier to find you in a crowd in the dark............... ............. from behind............. ................... .... with a flashlight.

Riding a Moto Guzzi fulfills that separation, or I'm missing something?

At a stoplight in NJ. Maybe '53. Cute taillights. What are you runnin' in that thing? (51 Chevy coupe)," 270 jimmie. That's all yer gonna see". Green light! He had me in the 1st 20 ft., but then I was gone. 48 Mercury coupe. 3-3/8" X 4-1/4". Winfield cam, bunch of Offie stuff, Zephyr gears.  R3~

I'm familiar with the blue dots on hotrod cars, not on bikes.

But it's an interesting look, especially on something vintage, vintage looking, like a V7 Classic.
