tailgate light bar illegal?

Are light bars illegal in california or was the cop being an douche? i was pulled over for having an illegal light (tailgate light bar). the cop starts asking me if ive ever been to jail and if theres any marijuana in the car. how does that have anything to do with a light?

Don't take it so personally. He was doing his job and can ask you anything he wants.

Which one exactly? Plasmaglow fire and ice? Found this:

The PlasmaGlow Fire & Ice LED Tailgate Bar is not DOT approved. Check your local laws for restrictions.

Well I can't find the info on the Plasmaglow light you have if you don't know what type it's called. There are a lot of different lights made by Plasmaglow.
