no i was a volunteer and ran some lights. they dont mind red if youve got a permit but where im from blue is pretty serious to be flashing.

you can have as much blue as you want glowing. my whole interior is blue and last time i got pulled over nothing was said. if you have a bunch of those LEDs on the dash and blinking, then you have a problem

Spent many years on the road trucking and have always had accent blue or red lights which were always clearly viewable by cops if they looked and never had one issue.

Just because you can, does not mean you should. Leds are... well, just Leds. Just because this invention predated most of you, is no reason to go all gaga over them and stick 'em in every orifice you can find.

They are not cool.
They are not new.
They are j u s t L E D S.

Gotta love Haters
