from what the cop said i would have been pulled over if i had green lights in. and yes they are the ones in the high beam housing. like i said, it took the morons over an hour to find the freakin code in the book. they pulled me over for something they assumed was illegal, but wasnt exactly stated like they thought, so rather than tell me they made a mistake, they slap me with an improper lightning ticket. same one you get for no tail light. and plus, the detective called me in as "flashing my blue lights" which is impossible to do unless you turn them off and on manually, which is rediculous. so go figure.

That's just plain stupid... The lights are in your actual housing which officers dont have blue lights in their housings (usually in front grill - back and front windshields - and roof mounted. In your case though, those are the only blue lights on your car, and they dont flash/strobe. Sounds to me like you caught that dude on the first day of "that time of the month"

I say keep em in, might look like your a cop (lol), but at least people will slow down and drive safe when they see them since the real 5-0 are backin up the drive thru at crispy cream!!!

PS. I dont NOT like cops, so dont misread this post, my dad was one and my neighbord is one, but serioulsy... YOU show me a cop that drives and IS350 on duty and Ill stick my foot in my mouth! Just my .02 though.

I give both you guys with the blue led's tickets. Not for breaking any law. Just having bad taste in looks. Those are rice/ugly. And this is coming from a dude that has changed out his parking/city lights as well.
