I'm right on the fence, in the middle. I need to figure out if I want to do the other side or not....make my mind up for me!!!

You can't really see them much with the projectors on because they are so much brighter. Would be mainly for sitting around at night or at shows and stuff I guess.

I know I am slightly worried about that, but the only time you will be see them is when the projectors are off at night, which won't be when i'm driving, so I think I should be OK there.

Worst comes to worse its just a fix it ticket.

i agree. it looks good and you can barely see them with the lights on. so i say do it. and if you're really afraid of a ticket i would still do it but wire them up to a switch.

ps. i luv ur stripes. i've seen them before i've just never gave you my compliments. so there you go.

Red lights on the front of a car = TICKETS!!!!! thats the only reason I haven't done that to mine. It does look awesome tho.

Hey heres an idea!!! Try to find LED's that can go from clear to red. You know like those crappy APC color changing LED washer nozles and tail pipe tips.

OOOORRRRRRR.....

Use a red LED and a clear LED and just have a switch to turn betwen them. That way when you do get pulled over you flip a switch and tell the cop, "what red lights?" He goes to look and comes back scratching his head and tells you to have a nice evening.
