Good luck, it's illegal if you get pulled over. You cannot have any red or blue aftermarket running lights by law due to emergency vechicles using these colors. Some cops let it slide but others will nail ya for it.

I got pulled over just for having a blue exterior light. Thats when the highway patrol explained to me running blue & red is illegal.

I have the switchbacks in my turn signal housings. At night the lights look blue to me. I think they are a hyper white which is what Detoxx might have been talking about. I'm currently looking to get 6000K HIDs as well to match the blue light.

There are 2 bulbs in the turn signal housing. 3157 is the main bulb and side markers are 194. What bulbs are you going with?

I switched to white regular bulbs.

Unfortunately, my housings were so terrible, they still ended up looking yellow.

I then re-did the housings, and put in super white lights. They are difficult to see in the day, but at night they look fantastic!

I think my black trans am with orange running lights on it looks mean coming down the road. If it was blue or any other color I don't think i'd feel the same.

I agree. I had my GF follow me in my car, while I was driving hers one day. Very intimidating sight. I guess its also the reason why people get out of my way on the interstate when I'm behind them.
