Being Red, I'll see how long before I get pulled over. It is my intention to hook them up to a toggle switch. I just need my friend to assist and more time, I'm busy quite a bit.

I would think since it's on the side you should be alright. I always thought that the red and blue lights only matters on the front. I could be wrong though.

Depends on the state. At least mine is flashing, rotating or oscillating. Others may be just there. We also have a limit on lightbars/aux lights too, which at least only applies to those mounted to the front.
Code:
Any motor vehicle may be equipped with not more than three auxiliary driving lights mounted on the front of the vehicle. The director of public safety shall prescribe specifications for auxiliary driving lights and regulations for their use, and any such lights which do not conform to said specifications and regulations shall not be used.
Code:
Flashing lights are prohibited on motor vehicles, except as a means for indicating a right or a left turn, or in the presence of a vehicular traffic hazard requiring unusual care in approaching, or overtaking or passing. This prohibition does not apply to emergency vehicles, road service vehicles servicing or towing a disabled vehicle, rural mail delivery vehicles, vehicles as provided in section 4513.182 of the Revised Code, highway maintenance vehicles, funeral hearses, funeral escort vehicles, and similar equipment operated by the department or local authorities, which shall be equipped with and display, when used on a street or highway for the special purpose necessitating such lights, a flashing, oscillating, or rotating amber light, but shall not display a flashing, oscillating, or rotating light of any other color, nor to vehicles or machinery permitted by section 4513.11 of the Revised Code to have a flashing red light.
Michigan's laws is very vague. It states no red or blue on vehicle, and driving lights jus cannot be shining "into oncoming traffic" which brights do anyways, so it really just depends on the cop. I've had state and county troopers sitting on empty roads and I've accidentally shined them with my lightbar before I saw them, neither has ever cared, and it's happened a few times. As long as they see you actively shut it off they seem to let it slide.
I love the look, I have yet to go out on the road with them on. They don't flash. I live in Washington State. I know blue is a no no, not sure about red, although i know red ON the front isn't good either. I really should check the laws, but as mention above, it probably depends on the officer.
