Awesome Light mods that I installed!!!

Just finish doing my lighting mods.
I just installed HIDs which it looks awsome.(7000k)which are so bright blue that when I am driven ppl think I have my High beams on.lol
All the turning signals changed to blue lights,
Basically all the exterior light are Blue.
Then I am still waiting for my Red LED under glowlights.(Also theirs a cord that you connet to your speakers and the lights move to the beat.)which I think is so awsome.

Ill be at Princeton Mini Party on April 5th if you want to check it out

Yes, blinding people with improperly adjusted illegal aftermarket HID kits is so funny. I bet the people flashing their high beams back are as impressed as the first bored cop who meets you coming the other way is going to be.

I'd love to know if his blue light bar on the roof is a good match for your blue turn signals. . . .

1) ANY aftermarket HID kit is illegal, reguardless of Kevin output, per the DOT guidelines. You can only have HID's on the car if installed by the manufacturer. The housing is COMPLETELY different on a car equipped from the factory with HID's. Unless the housing is specifically designed for HID's with leveling motors, etc, it's VERY dangerous for oncoming traffic.

2) Any type of underglow is also illegal in almost every state unless the car is parked and off the street.

3) Almost every state requires Amber or Red flashing turn signals. In some cases clear lenses are ok, but it must FLASH Amber or Red. It's illegal to have anything on your car that flashes blue, and in some states you can be charged with impersonating a police officer .

FWIW, why on earth did you buy a MINI Cooper S GP to turn it into a "Bling Bling" Machine .

blue headlights with red underglow and flashing blue turn indicators. I give you 3 months before you get a ticket for "impersonating an officer" My father got one by putting a red and blue baseball cap in the rear windows of his chevy impala.

good luck.

Some bored NJ state trooper is about to have a field day. By putting blue bulbs into his front lamps he's actually decreased his ability to see at night so some of the GP owners might soon have a wreck to part out

I'm sure you do. And a a Class 4 Felony if you come to IL like that. Mind doing me a favor, when you wreck can to try and keep the IC intact? I think it'd be a great mod toa standard MCS.

Yeah but do you know how many people in cop families get ticketed when they are out of the sphere of influence of that dept. Go to NY or PA and they ain't gonna give two hoots. They just want the ticket revenue.
