the way i figure it, your calling attention to yourself, but as long as your not driving like a lunatic its rare that youll get ticketed

If the cops want to be a prick, he can pull you over for anything. That being said, when I used to have hyperwhites, I did not get pulled over. But after I switched to a blue color bulbs, I got pulled over. It was crap because it was 2 am on a Tuesday morning and there were 2 cop cars hiding in a gas station. I was not speeding whatsoever and even had my turn signal on. I guess they wanted to meet their quota or something. They have nothing better to do sometimes so be careful.

I kind of agree with the way you drive, etc....
I live in a small town where cops love to harass teenagers if they dont like them or feel they cause problems--- anyhow
for about 6 months now i have had my windows tinted a very illegal Limo on the back and side back windows and 20% on the front sides which is also illegal. I haven't once gotten pulled over -- nor have I gotten pulled over for the Crystal White bulbs i have in my headlights -- they do look bluish from certain angles but are very white.....

My friend has hyperwhite turn signals on his Accord and he got pulled over for it twice!!! Where I live, cops are really sensitive about that (along with the rice exhausts and tints).

Actually I think it has something to do with wat kind of car you drive too.... I used to have a 200SX SER, with blue lights, I got pulled over several times.... Now when I have a shiny Silver somewhat luxury car CL, cops dun mess with it.... I dun even have my front plate with blue bulb and blinking infront of them, they still dun mess with it at all..... But then, with Civic, they will get pulled over..... Its kind of a psycology thing, you see, many many Lexus or Benz without front plate and a gold emblem, they still dun care..... So i guess its like if you have a nice car, unless you speeding or anything, they will not mess with you.....
