    Installed my retros Sunday and decided to share. They're Mini H1's with passive red demon eye and color changing LED halos. Got tons of attention yesterday and today. Major thanks to LSC15 for making them for me cause I know I couldn't have done these myself lol. What do you guys think?20150622_195929.jpg 20150622_195908.jpg 20150622_195922.jpg

    The remote says XB on it. So I assume those are the ones he used. He sent me the shipping label from when he ordered them. I'll look when I get home. But yea they're really full and vibrant. Actually lights up the ground around the front of the truck decently

    Yeah so does mine. The primary (red blue green) colors on mine look great but all of the other sub colors look off and don't really put them on. I got pulled over for having an aqua color. Apparently that counts for blue and impersonates a cop and got a warning for it. Because my Tacoma really resembles a cop car.........

    Just a heads up, the blue and red and cause unwanted attention from law enforcement. I guy I went to school with was charged with impersonating an officer for having blue lights on the front of his car. The charge was later lowered to something else, but a pain in the ass regardless.

    And don't get the idea that "oh who would actually pull me over for my lights I can get away with it." It does happen

    Just barely beat me. Around here the police drive all kinds of weird shit, I once saw a early 90s tercel police car. The OPP use a hearse to catch people on cell phones.

    Oh believe me I already know. Only ride with green or white on. Got pulled over before because a cop THOUGHT I was speeding and he didn't even know the speed limit. I'd be suprised if they said something about my LEDs cause my window tint is beyond illegal. People truly think I'm a cop when I go in rough neighborhoods. They hide or run away. Pretty funny if you ask me

    Most everything stands out down here in SC, but just the other day I saw a black VW bug and as I got closer noticed it was an unmarked police car :rofl:
    I can only imagine what that cop was thinking when the department gave him THAT as his vehicle

    Its all good man lol. I've seen my fair share of unmarked police cars. Funniest was a smart car. Laughed my ass off. Guy was making a left turn where there was 3 signs that said no left turn. Honked at him several times to not turn. He did it anyway and as soon as he did, the cop put his lights on and oulled him over. Wish i could have gotten a picture lol

    "No I couldn't see around your MASSIVE cop car"

    As a cop, I personally don't care to enforce stupid little laws like this. I think the lights are cool.

    If someone can't tell I'm not a cop with these lights, they need glasses. Thanks for being a cool cop though lol

    Much respect to you. There's a difference between enforcing the law, and just being a dick. I think there are more important things to worry about than lights
