sounds like he's SOL for believing the box.. In TX (and I imagine all other states as well) you can't show red from the front.
Texas Transportation Code,
section 547.305, part b:
"Except as expressly authorized by law, a person may not operate or move equipment or a vehicle, other than a police vehicle, with a lamp or device that displays a red light visible from directly in front of the center of the equipment or vehicle."
edit: as expected, it's
the same in MN ("...lamps or lanterns projecting a white light..."). He can fight it but he won't get very far.
In short, from everything I've seen, non-white/yellow headlights
are not street legal, and are marked for off-road use only. If you use them, be prepared to get ticketed for them eventually, since they are so highly visible.
