Trooper Katherine Weatherwax sent a post to X (formerly Twitter) reminding motorists that this is illegal. The only exception is if the car is not in motion and on private property.
"Lights can distract other drivers which lead to collisions. Also taping lights can cause paint damage," said Washington State Patrol Trooper Weatherwax.
