TEXT:

It was a pleasure speaking with you again and thank you for the information on DRLs.

I'm following up in regard to our conversation on "Blu-Lite" (advertisement attached).

As discussed, we are curious about the feasibility of federal regulation in support of such a product. If I understand correctly, state laws also govern the use of blue lighting and limit it exclusively for vehicles responding to emergencies.

I would like to have a follow up conversation and discuss regulation issues related this product and similar devices in both OEM and aftermarket applications.

Thank you.
