Looks good! I don't know about your area but where I am it's illegal to have blue lights on outside of the car...only allowed for emergency vehicles that's why I did mine in clear white.

my understanding is that in TN its legal as long as they are not on the front of the car. thats how i understood it when i googled it and found many posts on it. hope thats it anyway. i had her out the other night but dont think any cops were around to notice it.

Did mine yesterday. Didn't have a zip tie long enough, so I used a 14 guage wire that I fished thru the left of the license plate hole. I removed 3 fender cover thingies to make it easier. Hooked it up like the instructions. Worked the first time. Got my LEDs from NASCAR57/JW.
I am liking this light modding. My only problem is the heat. It's been high 90s every day. It is extremely hot in the garage. Have to change shirts after 15 min working in the garage.

Thanks to you guys for the tutorials. Chicago1 and others! Keep it coming!

word of advise,
do not drive through New Market with that blue light on or it will cost you $115.
Actually avoid New Market all together if you can, they have 4 cops and at least one sits 24/7 on 11-e and will write you up for doing 3mph over the limit which drops to 45 for no reason with the exception of raising revenue.
Ask me how I found out
