Very nice gadgety thing... but sort of distracting no? And would they even pass US DOT inspections? I would think there is some switch to activate the "flashing" option and when off they're just regular functions.

Good luck finding them.

Looks cool at first, I love technology put to good use, but my secondary reaction is that it would be seriously annoying to have to sit behind that in traffic

Egawds, sure is an attention grabber -

Looks like a miniature version of a third tier casino in downtown Las Vegas. Can you imagine a police cruiser coming up behind you with these things in full motion. That's an automatic pullover as far as I can see so keep anything (ahem) questionable at home ...

Just an old fart's opinion coming from a guy whose extent of mods is t & c (tint and chromes) -

I think that is cool as hell, as for all the legal crap, its switchable, you run them in normal mode on the street, but switch them to crazy mode when your at events when its not a legal issue. Not a big deal.

if you design it on paper first, the build part is not long.
i made plenty of random LED stuff before

I want them just because of the led blinkers. If i'm not mistaken, these are just for 01-03 models
