blue is illegal, you can use a slightly bluish white or hyper white whatever but blue is going to get you pulled over, anycolor will probably cause you problems as far as the license plate goes, you have been warned

I hate to say it,but it is illegal,I was pulled over,about 2 months ago,I changed to some 2 LED per bulb PIAA super white.I have since asked Robert at HiLED for some of his products,So Im getting 4 of those so I can finally change out the parking lights.This thread reminds me,I need to change my sig. to show the change.
But its no big deal,If a cop pulls you over,just say you thought the lights had to be blinking and in the front of the car to be in violation,make it sound like you know what your talking about,the cop may not know exactly,the one that pulled me over said,"You know you could be right about that,so Ill let you go,I changed anyway,because I smoke alittle,and I dont feel like getting arrested for blue licence plate lights,and a heavy bag of green.

The only thing I dont know is how weel the white light behind the yellow cover is going to look,I got white because of the output of light.
The sedans parking light is not in the headlamp housing like the LB.
