I will give you an opinion, but I'm not the enforcers, so it's worth about a penny on a good day.

If the side lights are not overly bright and do not shine upward enough ...to cause loss of night vision by another boater, you probably won't run into issues with them. Workboats with decklights do use white lights, but they are usually contained within a reflector and aimed downward at the deck. They actually help illuminate the boat so that others see it even better, but without undue glare for the other boat. I haven't seen yours at night, and deciding if the brightness is "too much" is subjective. Assuming you aren't moving (or are moving very little, like just a slow drift), you should have only white light illuminated. Any red or green lighting visible outside the boat will be confused by another boat as a vessel's navigation lighting, and the long strips clearly don't meet spec for that. For when you are at rest (or nearly so) TPWD may tell you that the white lighting is acceptable - which would be from a practical viewpoint as it certainly would make you more visible and far less likely to be struck by another vessel underway. They probably won't give you an opinion over the phone - they don't do that because people try to come back at them over something if they happen to receive a citation. The best thing to do is probably ask your local game warden to view the boat and give you an opinion.

Yes sir, we went down fishing for reds and trout out of Port O (Xpress bass boat, not the bow fishing rig) and got educated real quick on the difference between the Coast Guard and TPWD!!

I’m thinking that if I use common since I shouldn’t have any issues. The head light I will never use while running. I will only use while idling stump fields. That’s the only reason I built it. Even then I will turn off if another boat is close. The red and green I have to believe a warden won’t mess with me on. The side strip light I did for fishing purpose only. Not in use while running. I have to believe that’s legal.

I think that some time, effort and $ went into this and it looks good. However......

I was fishing a tourney at Rayburn-BigBassSplash and 2 boats that had "non standard lighting" were running somewhat close to me in the dark. It was very disorienting as to what direction they were actually running. I did try to stay away from them but it's hard to tell direction sometimes. They both had lights that illuminated their "wave splash" green. It really sucked as it was so confusing. My opinion is that it should be illegal if it is not to USCG spec and folks need to know why.
