I don't know all his lights, but having briefly ridden behind him I'll say they're definitely too bright -- a car driving with tail lights that bright would probably also attract police attention, especially if any of them were flashing lights. In his case, they were all flashing red, no steady red, and the police at first thought he was impersonating an emergency vehicle.
