Okay did you buy them that way or did you do it your self?

If you did it your self we would like a write up on how it is done.

If bought - where?

Looks cool. Did you choose the color? I've heard about cops pulling people over for blue lights(something about impersonating an officer).

Tks guys, my friend brought it for me from Japan cost around $180.00 it's plug and play took 20 mins or less for the guys installed it for me.

They have blue,red and white color, my friend got me wrong color i was thinking to get white color, but it's too nice so I just can't wait to get it installed.

I am not sure about the cops pulling people over for the "color" lights. but there were a cop right next to me last week at night, and he didn't pull me over, so, I think it's ok

I wish they had them in something other then chrome. I really really don't like chrome. But throw those in with some led side repeaters to and that would be hot.

This could be easily done with some patience, a dremel and a led strip from autozone.

Jus sayin, it'll save you a lot of money

These guys sell all kinds of LEDs. I had them on my Harley and they are top notch. Great customer service also.

Not really? Just a +/- that you tap into the side turn signal right there... Then they'll both flash when you signal. Unless you want them running as running lights, then just fish behind the wheel well liner and tap into the parking lights on the upper half of the fogs.

You'd have to wire their kits anyways, in the pic it's just about 5ft of wire

I put a set of these on about a year ago! I love 'em! They look really awesome at night. Porthos, you could plasti-dip? it's also a pretty fun DIY project if you have a dremel and some LEDs :-D
