Check this site out:

You can go to the "Revised Statutes" section and do a search.
May not be the easy answer you're looking for though.

I would think you could just call you local police office and ask them about the law.

I'm gonna have to recommend a big "NO" on that, for a couple of reasons:
1. It will draw attention to you, and wipe out any possibility of successfully using the "I didn't know...." ploy.
2. Most cops know jack about the details of the law when it comes to unusual situations, like custom vehicles. They'll know if state law requires two working taillights, or just one. They'll PROBABLY know what colors are and are not permitted. But when it comes down to distance from the ground, how far apart, etc., most cops just aren't gonna know that off the top of their heads, and about half will be too embarassed to admit that.
No, I'm not bashing cops. Yes, I have some clue what I'm talking about.
