not cool at all

Hey buddy way to jump the gun, try ASKING before assumeing what other people do with certan equipment. Me and the rest of my crew go to truck shows and off road events where a little extra flash is gladly accepted. I DO NOT use them at any other time than those stated above. I come from a law enforcement family and have the upmost respect for anyone in that line of duty. They are purely for show and nothing else, but I appriciate the assumption of some sort wrong doing

Dont worry man there is nothing wrong with LEDs. Its just someone somewhere did something to **** somebody off and so now to certan people it means that if you have them, then you are causing trouble.

Nothing at all. But his lights behind the grille, the ones we were talking about, aren't DRLs, they're emergency LEDs. So u misunderstood.

And I find it hard to believe u never use em on the road. I had strives in the headlights of my s10 and I used em behind my friends a lot. But it's all in how u choose to act. U seem responsible

i can see how its hard to believe but, if i had STROBES yea i would use them to mess with my friends no lie. But police/emergency lights!! No way bro not only is it disrespectful, dangerous, illegal, its just dumb. Strobes can be used for construction or road side asstenance trucks AS WELL as police and EMS types too. But the lights i have are way worse to have than strobes. I like the way they look, they attract attention at a show and its something diffrent. I am responsable in how they are used, and i do understand what could happen if they are misused. Like i said before, they are show only!!!!

Well he said they're way worse to have than strobes. I don't see solid being worse, so I'm wondering what they do.

Video?

ok im just gonna clear all this **** up, i have explained how i use my lights and how they work.(they are regular police lights FLASHING and all) The strobes as fdimeroller was talking about are white strobes in the HEADLIGHTS( he even stated the were in his headlights). Or if he did have red and blue strobes i have never seen them in the headlights of police vehicles in Texas(only white strobe lights) and for that i am misunderstood. But either way that does not change anything about what i have already said about my lights or how they are used. This should honestly concern noone, if you dont have them then you shouldnt care. Furthermore if you have seen someone with these lights that is not in law enforcement and is using them in a way they should not be doing, that is not my problem. Just because that person is doing it DOES NOT mean that i am. So just to summerize all of this, My lights do flash or "strobe" but red and blue and they are behind my grill. They are not white or in my headlightslike fdimeroller had. Sorry to be a **** but this is the only way i feel like i can get my point across.

Yea, i really do like them and they are cool (to me at least haha). But you should get them back, if you really want them. I bet on your truck they would look bad ***.


P.S.
