dunno why you would get a ticket, if anything they make your car more visible at night

No, although they do appear to be made in the same factory.

i got some of these from Elite a while back this year, drilled them into my stock skirts. i measured up then had to go off and come back before drilling and 2nd guessed my measurements on the front one each side...shouldnt haev done that haha so 1 of mine at the front each side is a bit further in, but it isnt too noticeable!

i drive with them on a lot of the time at night over here in Aus- not sure if its illegal or not tbh, because trucks haev loads of lights on the sides here and also Neons (*shudder*) are legal here these days provided that the tubes are hidden from direct sight (so they dont blind people directly) and that they arent bright red or blue (police/emergency colours).

so yeh stuff it i rock mine, spins people out in a big way. Plus, how many of you just sit your car in a dark parking lot at night and walk away? not to mention it drains the battery sitting there with car off & puddles on haha though that isnt to say i dont do it then too, just why not drive with them on sometimes! haha

Thanks everyone!

I flush mounted them into the skirts... just measured total length of harness, total length of skirt, substracted length of each fixture and then went to marking.

It didn't take long at all and I love the outcome! The lights are wired to the sidemarker lamps that are no longer there since the L-Sportline bumper deletes them.

I know a few officers with different depts. and all have said it should not be a problem since it's not super eye catchy like Neons.... Cause down here there are trucks with running boards that have brighter lights than this.

I'm lifting the car up again this weekend to do more work to it and I'll try and remember to snap some shots of the undersid.

BTW.... I got the set from TrendyAutoSalon
