Default IS THIS TOO "RICEY"?????

Sorry for the bad pics (used a camera phone), but do you guys think this is too ricey? I like it personally...I have the lighter blue 30th wheels which turn iridescent in sunlight. The lights in the front turns are ultraviolet 3157 led's. They are dim enough to not be too obnoxious and bright enough to just give a cool bluish/uv-ish glow.

If anything, it's definitely better than those super bright orange train lights on a blue and white car ha ha...

Blue lights = rice. At least in my opinion, to each their own.

Peace,
Craig.

I like it but the blue is probably illegal. I know it would be here.

I don't think they're bad. They don't look too bright. Plus if someone calls you out for being ricey you have a car with some ***** to whoop on theirs. Hell if I had a 800 HP street car I'd probably paint that **** vagina pink.

Our parking/blinker orange lights are not bright at all. They're just there....

Plus those lights are supposed to be orange. If I had blue lights on my car here (no way in hell I would) the cops would pull me over. Its illegal here in Texas.

Peace,
Craig.

My stock orange lights, when on as daytime running lights, were just too glaring and noticably orange on a blue and white car. Blue and orange don't mix too well. Every time I would see the front of the car's reflection in a store window, the overpoweringly bright orange glow of the DRL's would catch me off guard. If you remember to turn on your running lights all the time, then they aren't too bad since they use the much lower power element in the bulbs. But, if you use them as DRL's in their high power mode by keeping your headlights/running lights off, then they are blinding...like an orange back-up light always on. Some cars it's ok...but I'd rather have them either off or a different color (as well as 1/100th as bright) on my particular car.

The UV lights show up actually brighter in the pics than they are in person. They aren't very noticable in daylight...and at night they are a faint glow. Other led colors such as blue would be too glaringly bright and obtrusive...and more a magnet for cops.
