Do they shine a nice blue at night? That would be pretty badass.

I think the High Intensity Discharge lights are legal in most states,but a steady or flashing blue light is illegal.If your vehicle is parked and not on,I think it's a slide,but you can't have them on when moving.You need to check your local laws to make sure they're legal.

It's ok, very few people in MD care, including the Troopers. You should see some of the crap on the roads there... They REALLY need an annual safety inspection. It makes some FL cars look nince. On the flipside, if it's DOT, the states cant say much about it.

Forum I think you are mistaken, I believe having the "flashing" lights is a different story.

Also I live in the middle of no-where Canada so I don't care if its legal or not.

Those lights are also "supposed" to be installed with a seperate switch for the halo lighting that is powered only when the running/parking lights are on. It's only illegal if it's enforced.

My buddy wanted to put blue lights in the back window of his truck,but his stepmom is an officer for the Florida Highway Patrol,and she said it was illegal to have them on anytime you're on a roadway.She said it was safer to just leave them off than to chance it anywhere.

I've also heard that it's illegal to drive with your dome light on.Not sure about that one though.
