You are correct...(sirens are illegal too) but for hobbyists...as long as lights were covered and inoperable ( I always remove the fuses) it was not an issue as they were not exposed. This was a ruling I got directly from DMV Highway Patrol and the DMV Director. I was a former NH DMV employee as a member and Chairman of the NH Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board (Lemon Law ) and that was a big help.
The new Rules are part of NH State inspection. As such..the mere installation of the lights, operable or not irregardless of color, will not allow you to have an inspection sticker unless you have a permit. That makes the car undrivable on NH roads. I appealed to the DMV Director...and she informed me there are no exceptions to the State Inspection Rules.
