    If you like Russian roulette put them on. Best case is you never get stopped. Worst case is you cause a fatal accident and face negligent homicide charges and personal liability lawsuits.

    Federal regulations allow for either White or Yellow to be used for Day Time Running Lights.

    ...
    If its federally legal, its legal in the state.

    Purple, you will note, is not a legal DRL color. Nor will you find it listed as a legal colornfor any other type of lamo.

    “If its federally legal, its legal in the state.”

    I know what you mean, but I can think of plenty of state laws more restrictive than federal laws. Not that they should, but they do.

    You're right, that was a bit of an oversimplification.
