I guess it would look ok at a car show but other than that I can't think of a practical use for it and certainly don't want to be driving around with it on.

not bad... do you have the process/ pics of progress or anything...
more info would be nice

 

[phrenetiK]

thats what my silence was for...how can you post a DIY when you don't post any steps or any info at all

 

[arrow94]

I will take pictures of everything and go through the steps after work. I wanted to see if there was an interest before i went through the effort.
Glad you guys like it!

These are just for show, right? Otherwise a cop might stop you for driving around with blue lights ;)

I will post pictures tomorrow. I am too tired to pop the panel off tonight. Will do it in the morning.
Also i drove around with them on the last couple nights. A couple cops have seen them and have not pulled me over for them.

Red & Blue will definitely get you pulled over FWIW. Running emergency colors on the front of your car is a sure fire way to get in trouble

I suggest leaving them on white when driving, use the colors at shows

this. Red/blue are illegal as they can be considered 'impersonating a police/rescue' vehicle.

As long as the light isnt flashing, and i dont mix red and blue,there is nothing illegal about it. The light isnt bright enough to blind anyone and Its not flashing so it wont be seen as impersonating an emergency vehicle. Like i said, cops have already seen them and have done nothing.

I normally have my light bars on red or blue because those 2 colors are generally what I think looks best. I asked a few local sheriffs and cops that I've seen at gas stations and other random areas and they've always said they have no problem with them since they don't blink I shouldn't get any impersonation an emergency vehicle charges but YMMV.

with that said, the light bars are a lot more subtle than your entire grille. I think it is a bit too much.

neon lights, etc. are a bit too much fast and the furious 1-3 for me.

Under under Division 12, Chapter 2, Article 10 Section 25400(b) of the California Vehicle Code, aftermarket exterior lights, including underglow lights, attached to the front of a vehicle cannot be red in color, but all other colors are permitted.


thats just california though, not sure about other states.

Well if it it's legal in California, it's legal anywhere. Ya'll love banning anything you can think of.
