Please note that Section 25269 of the California Vehicle Code provides that " no person shall display a steady burning red warning light on a vehicle," except as may otherwise be provided herein. The exceptions permitting red lights apply to emergency vehicles and other situations that are not be applicable to the V.S.D. instruments. Other states have similar prohibitions in their respective vehicle codes.

Note that the V.S.D. display unit projects light upwards upon the transparent screen, so that the image can be reflected into the driver's line of sight. In some situations, it is possible that the light from the LEDs of the display unit may be visible to a person located in front of the vehicle, either because the angle at which the display unit is mounted on the dashboard or because the angle of the dashboard is inclined towards the front of the vehicle.

If this is the case, the applicable regulatory authorities might interpret the use of the V.S.D. display unit to be a violation of California Vehicle Code Section 25269 or other state vehicle codes.
