i just tried this mod. it works, but the only problem i have is that i have to remember to turn off the fogs if i leave them off. is there another wire(ignition) that i can tap into so that even if i have it on, the fogs will turn off with the car?

Javy, arent those police lights super illegal? AFAIK, having red and blue flashing lights and not being a police vehicle is grounds for seizure? Do you have them just for fun or do you use them to get people out of your way? lol

They are "super illegal" to use on public roads. I would NEVER use them on the road, only at closed events and shows - otherwise that's a quick trip to jail.

You must get soooo tempted sometimes... if someone cuts you off on the freeway or is driving really slow. I don't know if I'd be able to control myself.

Once again though, they look so sick on your car.

Brian, I got an idea... Next time, when we have the caravan, your can be the pace car in front so that we can reach our destination much faster
