LOWELL — Indiana State Police is warning people against putting Christmas lights on their cars this holiday season.
In a social media post, ISP Lowell district said they are seeing more cars decorating in bright and colorful Christmas lights.
Although they may look festive, ISP said this is illegal.
"According to Indiana Code 9-21-7-10, using colored lights anywhere outside the front and back of a non-emergency vehicle is illegal. We didn’t write the law, but it is on the books," the post read.
