A yellow light is recognized as a "caution" indicator in every state. It
does not identify your vehicle as an "emergency vehicle".
Were these lights red or blue I believe you would be OK as long as you
didn't ever turn them on. Once you did you would be subject to citation.

I bought this pickup last fall, from a nearby municipality, it has
only 35k miles on it despite baing 15 years old. They did not use it
much.

1) about yellow strobe lights. Is it legal for a regular person to
have these lights (when they are turned off)? What about driving with
them turned on? I would presume that it is illegal. I am in IL.

2) It is a 1 ton truck and it bounces a lot, like on speedbumps and
such. Is it simply due to having strong suspension (it is a 1 ton
model), or is something wrong with it?

thanks

In New Hampshire Blue lights are reserved for L.E.Officers. Technically the
"officer" must be in the vehicle if the light can be seen whether on/off.
Red for fire,ambulances,,Purple for funeral vehicles,yellow for caution.
Physicians may also have red if responding to hospital on emergencies.
