Do you have the clip in style?

To drill plexi or lexan, a unibit is a great drill. It will cut and enlarge the hole with busting the plastic. Take your time and use only minimal pressure until the hole is just large enough to fit the lens.

You might wanna make sure they're legal in VA; if not, you'll be risking a ticket every time you go cruisin'.

Yes,they are the clip in style.I'm going to check to see if they are legal here in VA this weekend.I see some around here but not that many. Here in VA they have all kind of rules and such.I thought it would look okay if it was legal.Thanks for the input-Ken

Contacted the VA state police today and the sergeant said that if you have antique tags on my vehicle, then I don't need an inspection sticker.However the vehicle needs to meet safety requirements and would be okay to run the blue dot on my tail lights.

these blue dots work best if you mount them right over the light bulb so the light will shine directly into the dot...
