I was out the other day running errands untill dark, I noticed that I was getting way more hi fives, waves, and finger pointing than usual and couldn't figure out why. I thought maybe I was getting a flat tire or something was falling off the truck. It wasnt till I got home and got out to manualy open the garage door (since I misplaced my door opener) that I realized that I had completetly forgotten that I put blu LED's under the running baords, and under the hood. Duh! It was the first time I had seen it at nite, its different anyway, not like the long tubes Ive seen. I was inspired by Dale's "Ol Yeller" but his is really cool, mine? I took this pic tonight at dusk.

 

Jimmy, those do look cool! No wonder you got so much interest.

 

Be careful with those. The CA vehicle codes says that you can't have any red or blue lights on a vehicle, except for emergency vehicles.

Otherwise, they look cool!

 

Yep, I bought some aftermarket side mirrors for my S10 for 10% of OEM replacements. They came with blue LEDs to hook up to your turn signals. It was easier to hook them up to the parking lights. One of the wires pulled out, but the functional one got my daughter pulled over. As it was my fault, I had to cough up the $100 fine. It didn't take me long to disconnect the other one.

 

Wo that makes sense since thats what they use on there cruisers. Thanks alot guys, off they go, at least untill I check with a Chp officer or change colors.

 

Too bad, it really does look good!

 

Quick search: STREET NEON Red and Blue lights on an POV in California.

 

Thanks Ilya, thats a neat web site and says it all. Im not going to say I understood every word of it, (Im not the sharpest pencile in the box LOL), but it defenitly answers my question. I appreceiate you taking the time to look it up and post it.

 

I'd still keep them. Just don't go overboard when using them.

 

Not so sure about the running board lights but that blue glow from the engine bay looks awesome!

 

Good looking truck Jim. I'm with aussiecowboy, the glow from the hood is cool.

This thread reminds of when I lived in San Diego. There was a pizza joint called New York Pizza Delivery. They delivered their pizzas in cars that looked like cop cars, NYPD on the doors and a fake light bar on top. Even though it didn't light up, law enforcement made them remove it.
