Amber LED Running Lights In Front

I could not get my running lights to match my 8500K HIDs and I got sick of everyone replacing their running lights with white leds, so I decided to do the complete opposite. I installed amber leds, what do you guys think?

Interesting idea. Ha ha ... most people try to get rid of the amber. Are they still practical as daytime running lights?

i put little blue ones in the place of the stockers.... they are hardly bright at all.... from walmart so what do you expect rite..... i think that yours looks very clean, im guessin you had just turned on your lights judging by the "blueness" of them

bluefrenzy- they aren't day time running lights.

Santozrx8- Nope, I changed the stock HID bulbs. That is why they are so blue. Also, I'm pretty sure blue running lights will land you a ticket.

Well in Canada they act as our day time running lights. Not that it really matters on a sunny day.

I thought that might be the case for you, after I posted that.

I think red will land you a ticket faster than blue.

I think the amber looks good w/HID, but the fogs look off. Maybe change up those so they mesh better? Not sure what to change them too though...

Aw, don't listen to them. Ticket smicket. Cops can't pull over what they can't catch!!!





I am not advocating any law-breaking--it's the margaritias.

Irfan, please post pics when you've done your mod. I'm curious as to how it would look. I went with the crowd and personal desire and did all extremem white on lights, but I'm thinking it wouldn't look too bad with yellow!
