yea, i would have to agree with kyle. its far from legal, but in texas cops dont really give a damn about lighting in my experience. i think you will be fine from a legal standpoint. as far as looks, i think we need to clear those headlights when we do your suspension cause it looks a little off when put next to the sidemarkers, or we could always just take the bulb outa the sidemarker since its just there for looks anyways.

does it make your blinker go really fast?

It looks blue from the pic's but its really white. I already got stopped for blue turn signals in my Civic. When i went to court i asked what type of colors are illegal and legal, they said you cannot have Blue or red flashing lights in the front of your car, white and amber are fine. Trust me there far from blue, its the camera. I really dought i'll get stopped and cops really dont give a shit.

that is a common problem with LED blinkers. you have to get a flasher relay like you use for trucks that have trailers. ill talk to you about it more when i see you.

Those are real nice I have RED leds in my blinkers if you really want to make it look nicer take out the yellow bulb on the bottom so it only shows the white and so far as getting pull over i havn't got pull over yet but i dunno about NC laws about red blinkers though???

im pretty sure its standard everywhere that you cant have red/blue blinkers. amber is the only permitted color for turn signals on the front end of the car. for the rear its amber or red, but if the blinker housing is clear (like the 03s) you must run amber.

If I get stopped for them, oh well. Tickets come and go and if I got stopped, all I would have to do is show the court proof that changed them. Then it will be dismissed.

Ebay 1157 bulb and you kind of have to sand down the opening of the housing of the turn signal. Cause the Led is a bit bigger then the regular bulb size.

Instead of a flasher module, I just used a pair of load resistors. I connected them across the wires for the turns and the hyperblinking stopped. I still have a pair if you're interested.
