    Arizona law.
    28-947. Special restrictions on lamps

    A. A person shall direct a lighted lamp or illuminating device on a motor vehicle, other than a head lamp, spot lamp, auxiliary lamp or flashing front direction signal, that projects a beam of light of an intensity greater than three hundred candlepower so that no part of the beam strikes the level of the roadway on which the vehicle stands at a distance of more than seventy-five feet from the vehicle.

    B. A person shall not drive or move a vehicle or equipment on a highway with a lamp or device on the vehicle that is capable of displaying a red or red and blue light or lens visible from directly in front of the center of the vehicle. Lights visible from the front of a vehicle shall be amber or white. This section does not apply to either of the following:

    1. An authorized emergency vehicle or a vehicle on which a red or red and blue light or lens visible from the front is expressly authorized or required by this chapter.

    2. A fire engine that is solely used for hobby or display purposes and that has been issued a historic vehicle license plate pursuant to section 28-2484 if either of the following applies:

    (a) The lights are covered and are not activated while a person is transporting or driving the vehicle to or from a parade, authorized assemblage of historic vehicles or test.

    (b) The lights are activated only in a parade, for an authorized assemblage of historic vehicles or for testing purposes.

    C. Except as provided in subsection D or E of this section, flashing lights on motor vehicles are prohibited except either:

    1. On authorized emergency vehicles, school buses or snow removal equipment.

    2. As warning lights on disabled or parked vehicles.

    3. On a vehicle as a means for indicating a right or left turn.

    D. A vehicle may have lamps that may be used to warn the operators of other vehicles of the presence of a vehicular traffic hazard requiring the exercise of unusual care in approaching, overtaking or passing. The vehicle may display these lamps as a warning in addition to any other warning signals required by this article. The lamps used to display the warning to the front shall be mounted at the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable and shall display simultaneously flashing white or amber lights or any shade of color between white and amber. The lamps used to display the warning to the rear shall be mounted at the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable and shall show simultaneously flashing amber or red lights or any shade of color between amber and red. These warning lights shall be visible from a distance of at least one thousand five hundred feet under normal atmospheric conditions at night.

    E. A person may equip a motorcycle with a means of modulating the intensity of a head lamp beam between the higher and lower brightness at a rate of two hundred to two hundred eighty cycles per minute. A person shall not modulate the head lamp beam during the hours of darkness as prescribed in section 28-922.

    uhh ya this is Illegal, Only Cops are allowed blue lights on the outside of the vehicle on street, and it comes with a hefty fine if you get caught. (also Red is designated to EMS/Firefighter) Also any strobe bulb, white included, that is not in an emergency vehicle is illegal unless you are parked. But if you are wanting to be a rebel and break the law, you can drill holes in the bottom of the headlight and use the seal that most highend strobes come with.

    Also, I could profile the shit out of OP but won't. The info in the left sidebar was enough to make my conclusion..

    Not even with a little bit of trimming.

    Fender, grill, bumper, hood, lights. Everything is a totally different shape.

    If you like the look of the 2nd gens, you could always just get a 2nd gen...

    I think you bought the wrong vehicle and then came to the wrong forum.
