Red LED hood scoop mod

I decided to put some red LEDs in the hood scoop and it came out pretty good. Only problem is that at first some people thought I was a cop so they pulled over for me... Can write a how to if people want. What are your thoughts?

 

Besides illigal, looks awesome!! I have a cop buddy that did the same mod... Except he uses it to po the local law enforcement cause he is a cocky idiot

 

You should check your local laws regarding what color lights you are legally allowed to run on a civilian vehicle.

Locally we are not allowed blue of any type. This is reserved for law enforcement and emergency vehicles. The state snow plows run blue flashing lights as well.

Best case, you get pulled over and warned. Worse case, an over zealous DA brings impersonating an officer of the law charges.

I only say this as you've already have people pulling over believing you're law enforcement or similar.

Other than that, I like them.

I suggest the KITT lights from Knight Rider.





Edit: the fact they are separated causes even more doubt about the legality.

 

Been pulled over before but cop didn't mention anything about it, and I actually put a knight rider LED in the grill yesterday

 

Would be better with a white led color...or amber.

 

The nightrider lights are a damn good idea!

 

i was told red, blue,yellow lights should not be on any car that is not for emergency but thats in texas. i was told a yellow fog light is ok.

 

I will take a write up I am a volly for ems would love to have this but gotta look good when off too. Except my service does green LED

 

my light was just a blue ford light in the front of the car. found this
Please check your Country/State usage laws for Red lights.

How does that front scoop come out ? I need to do some paint touch up on mine and was wondering how easy it is to come off ? Any help and or pics would be great ?... Thanks

 

Asking for trouble.

 

That is illegal in maryland

 

I have been driving around like this a night for about a year now. I have not been stopped or hassled.





Of course I do not have the lights in the hood scoop scanning or flashing while I'm driving. That would invite trouble.

 

ALL cars are REQUIRED to have RED stop lights and RED and YELLOW side markers. Any other color is a violation.

That's why BLUE is restricted in Colorado and many other states.

Many states won't allow a particular shade of YELLOW paint due to school buses.

 

Wow. For a minute there I thought I had been redirected to a Honda Civic website.
I had to double-check that I was still browsing TW.

Have fun with your blinky christmas tree lights.

 

I have the lights for about 3-4 months now and have never been stopped for them. I'm pretty sure you cannot have moving lights in the front but I think stationary are ok

 

Oh look, we have Knightrider and KITT rolling around...

 

I like my "blinky" lights. They are however, a bit more sophisticated than Christmas tree lights. (I wrote the program that controls them)

Oh...and I will have fun with them

 

Is there a kit or lights I can find in green that do flash or go flash left then right and back
