    Were you inhaling the paint before using it? Dude, I don't think it's legal for you to have colored tails (except for red and orange). Oh wait, those would just be signals so good luck with the blue signals.

    Ummmm......should've waited to get the candy apple red. I think I will do it to mine (candy apple) or (black tint), because it would match my paint beautifully. But at least you tried and if that's what you want go for shit.

    It IS illegal to have any running lights on your car that are any color other then red or amber (besides your headlights of course). Its a gray area and cops might not bother you, but thats highly unlikely.

    If they dont light up blue you probably wont get as much shit from the cops as you would if they were blue. Blue and red together will get you in DEEP shit. If the cop feels like it, he could bust you for impersonating an officer.

    I've seen people get busted for having green windshield sprayer light thingys on.

    i know what your saying about the blue but actually those pics make it look way dark then it really is, its lighter blue then that u could still see the yellowish tone behind it, but i will get red paint lol i just needed to see what it looked like and as i can see by your coments it looks like shit lol so im getting red paint and starting over
