Default Ack, im a ricer, ordered "Purge light"

I know im a ricer when i start buying stuff like this, but i thought it looked cool so oh well.

ZEX and NOS just came out with LED lights in a little billet setup that uses like a projector housing to emit a 10-20 ft beam of light (red,blue or geen) that lights up the purge at night.

Heres a video:

with a large purge setup, im sure it would look pretty cool...I bought one in red

You are right....

But...

You drive a C4 with a forged LS1 and a TH350, so the big scarry blue mist emitting from your ride will actually mean something.

Right, at least your car is fast.

I agree. You can get away with some stuff like this when your car is actually quick.

I'd like to see some video when you get it installed.

Actually...there are alot of little gadgets and things I may have considered at one time. But the entire "ricer" world has ruined it. Id still do this though.

Actually..when my car is back together my purge is going to have a Kazoo attached to the end. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Thanks for the compliments guys...

Kazoo!! now thats just hilarious..lol......the air blowing through blows like a whistle? that would be funny. Make the purge blow a whistle...thatll get peoples attention! that would be one loud *** whistle...

Im going to wire up the purge light in our nitrous refill room in the dark and spray through it and get some video tomorrow. I got a red and a blue one. Hehe...itll be like police lights, red and blue with a dual purge...or ill just stick two blues on it

How exactly does it work? It looks like it has an opening under the light, so does the purge line run into the back and then out the front of it?

Your in good company. I just bought two ZEX purge lights (blue) for my car. Which is going under the knife at HPE very soon for a new 408 stroker, and one of Chuck's direct port nitrous kits. I plan on spraying a 300-400 shot.

Call me a ricer, but after I release the tranzbrake button, you will be calling me a ricer to my tailights. So there!!
