Which in the end, isn't even worth it. Most cops wont pull you over if you don't go to bright.

keep it at about 4300-6000k and you wont have any problems. once you go 8000k and up they look blue and than theyll bust you for it

They told me they wouldnt bother pulling me over for it because they have "bigger" crime to worry about. They also said its really a judgement call by the officer. Technically, at least here, you cant have any blue or red lights on the front of your car. Any other color is absolutely fine. I know its a bit different but I had blue LEDs in my scoop that looked pretty cool. When I was talking to the cop at 7-11 is when he said they wouldnt really bother with me but it would be safe to change the color to something not red or blue. I changed them to green and white (the white kind of looks blue anyway) and I ride with them on all the time. I've passed shriffs and Staties and never been pulled over. IDK, the headlights may be a different thing with them all together though. Also, the LEDs look freaking sweet in the fog at night. They make the coolest "beams" off the front of the car and hood. __________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeQLUyYg3EA ^^^^Ok... for a 232^^^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah1EbIOdAZE PhotoClub Co-Founder K&N FIPK Dual Flowmasters Xcal III
