if you do, just show the officer the "DOT" code marking that is engraved in them.

They're perfectly legal. If you did get pulled over and ticketed, I'd bring one of the taillights to court with me, just to show the Judge the DOT inside the lens. The manufacture actually had to remove some LEDs from the original design, to become DOT compliant.

They did a hyper flash one time. I was trying to make them do it. I had the car idea for a while until it was warm enough for the engine fans to come on. I at the same time had the radio on, rear defroster, headlights on High beam. My volts dropped just below 13 volts and they Hypered for about 3 seconds. My car charges around 14 volts most of the time. So really have had no problem. When they did hyper I had everything running at a idle. It seems that 13 volts is the lucky number. Drop below that and they Hyper.

Nope, haven't been pulled over for the Halos or the LED plate lights, either. Life is good.
