Headlight LED "Blue"

Finally got new LED's for the G.

Came out pretty good, but I am not sure how cops will feel about it

Thanks to Urban for the LED specs.

They look great !

194s in the sides and in the city lights for those wondering.

Now get some demon eyes to change the color to suit your preference of your projectors when off.

had green in my other car for over two years and never pulled over once.....

I'll prob just end up trashing them anyways. My goal was just tail lights without all the other crap on.

Already changed them back. Now I have the sides running with tails which I'm ok with for now. They were just too blue for my liking. I want to keep the coupe as clean as I can.

I might end up disabling the sides as well as all I want are the rear tail LEDs on during the day.

In the day and age of the DRL you don't want DRL's? Mine are always on lol.

Up to Your preference man!

Green is an "Allowed color" by most jurisdictions. It's red and blue that are "illegal."

They shouldn't mess with you. Assuming you're in SoCal or even Arizona (judging by your pics), you should be fine as I'm running 6Ks for my strip lights and low beams. Mind you I'm in VA too.

question for you. I decided to jump in and break the lights open for some mod goodies. Are you reheating and using the factory glue with pressure to reseal them after your done? Or did you buy a whole new set of adhesive?

I've seen it done both ways.

When I got pulled over for mine it was specifically because they were blue and blue lights are only allowed for emergency vehicles. First time got pulled over, the cop was a reall *** hole. I'm in Louisiana so not sure if laws are different for you guys.

Looks great on your car

Keep in mind that blue lighting is not only illegal in most jurisdictions, it's also puts considerably less usable light on the road. In one quick headlight bulb change, you can cut your headlight's usefulness in half, while simultaneously doubling your likelihood of getting pulled over.

Good lighting info; https://www.danielsternlighting.com/...lbs/bulbs.html

Not using them as headlights, I believe they call them city lights, that little tiny bulb that comes on when you turn on the fog lights, I think it's a 194 bulb.
