Default curious thought

I was wondering if anyone had installed wheel well lights to their car. If so how in the hell do you get it to wrap around the back of the brake drum?
for those who don't know what wheel well lights are this vid helps get my point across

nope. you can have them however any lights that are blue/red/white can not be pulsating because that acts like emergency vehicles and those lights should only be used in an event of an emergency. Also you can have solid colors on the roads meaning you can not have any patterns running while driving on the streets.

I think you should check up on that, because i heard different stories. Just remember, a cop can be a douche and write you up for anything.

11tcowner, which state are you in? I know in TX red and blue are for emergency vehicles, the actual source of the lighting has to be hidden(can't have say a neon bar hanging exposed and lit up) and not be flashing, strobe lights is a no and reserved for emergency vehicles.

yeah definitely figure that out and see if it is illegal, because last time i checked, even the under body lights, strobing or not, were illegal because it was a "disstraction" which is an automatic ticket with doushe cops, just like playing your music too loud in your car is illegal, again, your getting a ticket for that with a doushe cop. That's why I haven't gotten any under body lighting yet.

My brother runs under car lighting and as long as it's not flashing, and not red/blue/white and the neon bars are tucked away hidden you're fine. He would run them in green and the only time I recall him being pulled over was it was flashing in pattern, he got a warning, any other time was just to hassle him but they couldnt do anything about it(just a few times). All you're doing is attracting unwanted attention from police, so be prepared for them to pull you over because they will just cause.
