Blue is an illegal color in many states reserved for the po po only. I'm sure that they'll notice you pretty quickly if it's illegal and give you the chance to pay a fine after removing them if they're illegal in your state. Wonder if it's a DoT federal thing?

I did notice a full size Ford pickup with blue running lights a few weeks ago.

i had a blue led bulb on my headlight a while ago. they looked nice when they were on, and kinda matched the headlights beam. never pulled over or hassled for it. but ive since taken them out.

i doubt i'll get pulled over unless i ride around with only my parking lights on....
with the HID's, im pretty sure it wont be obviously blue... it will just accent the HID lighting....
plus cops around here dont waste their time with the whole red light blue light thing....


but yea.. gettin em sunday, hopefully i'll have pics by monday....

Look down on me with shame.




I've been wanting to remove it for some time now, but I don't want to reach my hand behind the wheel well and cut my hands to crap again.
