I've got some stories I could tell.
One thing I'll never do is hit my horns on a Norfolk/Southern employee out on the tracks, their police does NOT mess around.....I know from work experience. Everyone else, including the normal police forces....are all fair game.

I was wondering about laws etc, found this; http://trainhorns.us/articles/are-train-horns-illegal-in-your-state/

My state, NM; https://law.justia.com/codes/new-mexico/2015/chapter-66/article-3/part-9/section-66-3-843/
I guess it is going to depend on the interpretation and/or definition of 'harmonious' *lol*

Since I'm on the business of 9-1-1, I obviously have a lot of LEO buddies. We often joke about "what could I charge you with?", and here in NC about the only citation (besides a noise ordnance) would be "Excessive use of a horn", which is actually a statute here.
The best part is every officer I've demo'd these for absolutely loves them, and I've been involved in several pranks on other officers with them. They've been tons of fun.

Of course I had to read up on this, and there are places in NM with these "excessive noise" ordinances. However, I read a story about a case in Rio Rancho, NM where a woman tried to tell people (with flashing lights and car horn) there was a speed trap, (un)-fortunately one of the people she tried to warn was a LEO, on duty, in an unmarked car, who pulled her over and cited her. Case went to court, her attorney stated that a horn, and to a degree lights, are intended for sending a message to other people, and as such, the message she was sending was protected speech. *lol* the case was dismissed, I guess that judge didn't want to get into that mess.
So now... what about train horns??
Please don't be offended when I completely copy everything you've done to your truck. That thing is looking beautiful. After driving mine to GSO and back 4 times in the last month I'm over the stock suspension and goodyears.

No hate there, I am REALLY enjoying the new setup......man it made a hell of a difference! The truck went from 'fun' and 'driveable' to 'fun to drive'. I don't regret a single thing I did, nor would I change any of it up at all.

Rolled the trash can out for pickup today and the Xenon's looked pretty cool with the mist.

Click on my retrofit link in my sig, far from a bulb replacement.
