What are you running for parking lights? Aside from people calling 911 to report a UFO landing,.. it looks legal enough for brake lights.

They look like there is some "white" light showing and that would be illegal here in NY state.

Love the vids in your Photobucket link. What is the paint you are using for the black chrome? Is it the Dupont Chromalusion?
Thanks

It's not the bulb that's legal or not legal, it's the housing. The housing has to be DOT approved to be legal. That being said, I doubt you, being a show car, would be pulled over and hassled.

The white light is actually the back up lights. We had all the lights on at the time, the lights actually have a running light also.
