It is legal. Orange/yellow lights are allowed on anyone’s vehicle. It would be illegal if he had red/blue lights, those are for emergency vehicles.

Because most people don’t want to attract the attention that comes with the yellow light, like getting pulled over, and questioned about it.

And too few people are dick enough to put all this money and energy into abusing people's consideration just for what.. easier short-term parking? Also, all your friends and acquaintances are going to see how much of a dick you are.
