Color to use in front corners?

I did not have the balls to clear my corners. I have done numerous civic headlights and none of them leak but I still dont want to risk doing headlights with that price tag on them. Well all I did was go to I vinyl shop and buy the chrome reflective tape and but that on. I think I did one hell of a job on them too. Well I hate how the hyper white corners only look good when they are on the bright filament. So I was thinking of going another color. I saw a new celica with red and I liked that a lot. I thought RED would look good b/c my car is fire pepper. I really doubt that any cop will give me trouble in my town. There are so many other queers with red and blue windshild washer nozzle lights that i see here that I would think they go after the obnoxious loud civics with them before they pick off me in a TL with red parking lights. If they wanted they could probably start **** if I got the hyper blue/white ones. I tried the red LED ones from APC but was not very happy with them. I liked the color in there a lot but the are only directed to the front cause thats the only place they but the LEDs. So the light does not flood through the while corner, all you see is a bright circle with a bunch of bright LEDs. Does not reflect in there at all. So what do you think.

Dont use red man, dont give the cops an excuse to pull you over, you can only use the red for the back, and only white and amber in front

I got pulled over for blue fog lights, and they tried to arrest me for impersonating a police officer.

So I dont think you should do red although it would look real good

Also post pics of the headlights with the tape

I agree with the others...the last thing you need is to give a cop a reason to mess with you, especially if he is having a bad day.
