...or so the placement of these lights on the rearview mirror has had me believing as I look at the mirror out of the corner of my eye.

Anyone else had a few heart attacks because of this like me?

lol... sometimes listening to music with those stupid sirens gets me. damn rap music.

I thought this was gonna be another front license plate thread.

I'm sure there is a way to change the color on those... that's if you feel like disassembling and it bothers people THAT much.

Amen. I don't have such a problem, as I've never heard a siren listening to George Strait...

Finally! I mentioned this on my C7 report to GM in Nov 2013.
They no commented me and I almost thought I was a bit to "far out there".

I think anyone who runs hard and "checks 6" at night will have the same issue as you and I.
