Cool, thanks guys. I thought the white is cleaner. I wish the blue was a bit brighter or not so blue. I'll keep the white on for now. Lets see what I can do with the blue. Maybe in the foot well like raine's?

Blue looks good if you want to stand out.

I'd definitely stick with the white. Also just a side note you may want to check with your local law enforcement as in some states anything other than white is a ticketable offence. In some states blue or red is an arrestable offence. (they say you are impersonating a police officer)

I like blue, everything in the car is blue, but I wish these LED's were a brighter shade of blue. by looking at it I might be able to fabricate my own SMD bulb setup to have both blue and white SMD's on the same bulb and give it a "lighter" shade. Should be interesting.

This was discussed in 2 different threads last week alone , but these are AGT brand 194 5 SMD from amazon. It costs something like 10 bucks shipped for 2 pairs. I believe it was from a seller called Speed Shop, their customer service is excellent, 2 of the bulbs didnt work initially because the bulb wires needed to be bent a little, sent an email thinking it was broken they replaced them, when I figured it out I mailed back to apologize they said consider it a gift.

I'm not too concerned . However, you're right, as far as I know blue is illegal in VA for police impersonation, but Richmond police didnt seem to care too much about my tint and bulbs that I, ironically, installed in front of police officers on both occasions. Actually when I installed tint at the shop, the officer admired it and put the same illegal specs on his personal car
