RICE ALERT

 

.....BLUE!

 

haha...it just came out that way in the picture...take a look at the other pictures of the lights...its not nearly as blue in real life...the interior lights are blue and i think that effected the way the camera captured the light on the outside lights in the above picture.

 

no, those are blue LEDs and that is why the exterior lights came out so blue in that picture.

 

Looks kinda like my 8000K HID headlights.. Not as blue as the first pic.

 

yea, this is a very accurate depiction of the real color. they r the hyperwhite LEDs. the cop even said, "why do u have the hyperwhite bulbs."

 

To the OP, I know it's your car and all, but does that look nice to you?

 

for those that see me post elsewhere alot, this is one of the few times i would honestly admit some cops just have nothing better to do.

 

sigh, what can i say, i'm a ricer.
it doesn't help that all my car buddies are 350z driving ricers

i agree. i wasn't speeding, whats drinking, my head lights are legal. they should utilize their efforts on more useful things...

 

The cop CAN determine they look blue. He CAN write you a "repair" ticket. If it's dark, he CAN say he will impound/tow your car, because you cannot drive it with the lights being blue. But, that doesn't mean you can't park it and call someone.

I had an HP **** say the same thing to me about having neon in my back window long time ago. He pulled the same crap - telling me he had very right to go inside my vehicle and rip the "focking thing out" if he so chose to. I told him, "Sorry, officer. No you do not." And, I locked locked the door and told him I was going to park the car here over night and have someone come get me. End of story. He left me with a warning. I waited till he left and continued on my way. So...

 

The second picture looks way more white but still, i'd lose the LEDs under the car ASAP, and not just cause of the cop issue either.

 

hmm tough one...a friend of mine got pulled over for the same thing, all turn signals must flash orange, but it looks damn good!

also they can pull you over for not having an orange relector in the front of your car. All cars must have at least two ornage reflectors in the front of their vehicle due to safety reasons. Most cops dont enforce it but i know its a law...

 

Okay i semi retract my statement about that pic. The second pic came out way lighter then the first. Not blue, but still pretty distracting. Cops pull you over if your a distraction on the road. .. thats why they pull over rice!!! (not saying your car is rice.. i actually kinda like the mod.)

 

ok, now they look much less blue

I would get rid of the under carriage blue, the combination of the two may be the deciding factor for the cops eye.

 

FYI - LED's have a range of colors even when they are thought to be "white". They are sorted by their place in the color spectrum. The premium LED's are held to the extreme tight tolerances, which I doubt the photos are demonstrating. The best LEDs currently are made by Nichia and there are a lot of really crappy LED's being made, so beware. There are also a lot of crappy fixures using LEDs. The biggest challenge is heat dissapation. If they do not design the product properly, the LED's will diminish and put put less and less light....rather quickly.

All I can say is I got pulled over and ticketed in my home town, for having the old Illinois license plates. which are cleaner looking on my z

 

Yes, every super white LED has a blue tint because white LEDs are simply blue LEDs with a dye on the diode. There is no such thing as a 100% pure white LED, although some manufacturers do a better job of covering the blue than others.

 

OP is color blind.

 

I agree with most of the members here....

....Cop is in the right, even if they are white.

They are annoying !
