I am a certified first responder through the American Red Cross for First Aid, CPR, AED, and Bloodborne Pathogens. I am not employed by any fire department, however upon witnessing vehicle collisions during my daily 30-minute, one-way commutes on often icy and snowy highways (especially now), it would be considered my duty according to my trainers to stop and offer my assistance when possible. The problem is that I would really like to have some additional warning system in the rear of my vehicle (such as an amber traffic adviser or some amber strobes/LEDs), but I don't know if this would be legal or not. I've seen several studies online about the importance of vehicle lighting, and I simply wouldn't be very comfortable assisting in a car collision if I didn't have any other means to protect myself and the accident site. From what I've read, vehicle lighting is the key to dissipating secondary collisions.

Would installing an amber traffic adviser or some tail-light modulators or amber strobes be illegal in Michigan?
