^ I used to have blue ones a long time ago. I had cops drive behind me and not do anything also. However, I did get pulled over once for it. Thats how I know only white is legal.

maybe your car isn't tricked out and you were driving under the limit?

either that.. or you just didnt seem cocky to the popo

Thanks for the dIY, i really really like the purple one, but that feels like its bait.

Looks awsome. Was there any problems ordering from that site? Seem they are shipping from Hong Kong, no crazy hidden fees or mark ups to ship to Canada. Just wanted to know before I placed my order. Basicly what I want to know was, the cost of the ligths and the shipping was all you had to pay, nothing else. Thanks

Yeah, cost of the strips and shipping was all I had to pay. No customs or anything like that. My orders were pretty small so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. They do ship from Honk Kong so delivery does take a while. Any LED strips will work so if you can find ones locally or even off of ebay or something, they should still work.

Did you order your dome light from this site aswell. Saw that in your other DIY. If I'm going to order the 2 LED strips I might aswell order some bulbs and things aswell. Sorry for nagging you for all the answers instead of looking for myself, seems like you know what your doing. Any other bulbs I could order. Trying to make it worth my while. How long was the shipping, just curios. Thanks.

np. I got the dome light from superbrightleds.com.

here is the url:
Product Listing - CAR

shipping from there was quick, but from the other place in hong kong it took like 2 weeks.

Thanks for all the help ahmed. Ordered my 2 strips today and also found a nice dome light on the site aswell. Haven't used my paypal in years and found there was some money still in the account. Made it even cheaper.

Here is the link to the dome light I ordered if anyone is wondering.

Got the lights today. Only about a week after I ordered them. Put the lights in, looks great, just waiting for dark to get a true look at them.

Glad to hear everything worked out.

I can't see pics. if you uploaded them somewhere, just right click on the pic and click on properties. Then just copy and paste the url.

That's what I did with the pics. I used the little picture button. It's probably the newest album on this site if the pics here aren't working. Thanks for all the help and advice.
