I don't see anything about a drop in color, just that it has to be red or amber and visible from 500 feet.
Same thing for the side lights, all it has is the max output of the lights, 6 candlepower.
Maybe LIS hasn't been updated yet
That is the thing. Those are what I have printed out, but what he showed me on paper was completely different. Nothing in his printed manual said anything about the 500 foot rule.
