You do need to run a 360* light to be in compliance, however, the SuperNova's are going to offer you MANY more benefits by additionally running them.
1) You will be seen and have a greater presence on the water with your SN's...that alone is great peace of mind
2) The will attract bait around your boat that will in turn call up the rest of the food chain.
3) Depending on the color (I prefer blue), they do have a UV quality about them that allow you to see your line better for those light bites
4) They illuminate the structure around you allowing you to easily pick it apart and fish it
5) They just look bad [censored]!!!
I will see if we can have a few Austin guys post pics of their Cuda 14 pics with lights.
