Someone in the aftermarket biz will come out with a color replacement bulb they did for the BMW's just wait it'll come out

FenwickHockey65 · 01-31-2009, 07:59 PM

It's illegal though...

Hooy · 01-31-2009, 07:59 PM

Aren't red lights illegal on the front of your car?

*Milk 1027* · 01-31-2009, 07:59 PM

red lights are illegal

*CamaroSpike23* · 01-31-2009, 08:01 PM

its not available from GM mainly due to it being illegal in most places to have blue/red lights as they are reserved for police/fire/ambulance vehicles.

however if you want to put some time into it, you can pull the halo's from the car, pull out the LED bulbs and replace them with those of the color you want.

Yellow / orangeish might be a legal color mod?

Nothing is as visually striking as red eyes in the middle of the night, though

gm will not offer red halos as a option as it is illegal. however if ur handy u can take out the led that is present in the halo ring and replace it with a red led. no u gott tap into the wires that power the halos and add a relay and a switch. now ull be able to flick the switch on and off to turn ur red halos on. when ur at car shows flip the switch and scare little childern away,, but when ur on the road turn em off and keep things legal

It's what I had to do

tickets was assanying ... not cheap

fad1 · 01-31-2009, 09:31 PM

I think any car with any color other than yellow or white is illegal.

Chewy · 01-31-2009, 09:50 PM

if you want to get specific most laws i've read list it as white or 'amber'.

but yes, red lights on the front or sides = illegal, as well as any blue light emiiting from the car.

several of the states you can have any other light showing as long as the bulb isn't visible (such as ground effects lights)

and some extend that so that they are allowed as long as the light is steady and not flashing/strobing

Says it all.
It isn't road legal.. yet you can have them if you don't get caught... lol

Hooy · 01-31-2009, 10:36 PM

Anybody know the laws for this in Texas?

*Milk 1027* · 01-31-2009, 10:44 PM

I can't really remember Texas laws but if remember right the red lights are still illegal. Red and blue underglow are legal as long as they aren't strobe.

No, but down in SEC country they will drag you out of the car, beat you and then have you fill out the ticket

ZYAL8R · 02-01-2009, 12:24 AM

If you're gonna get red halos, might as well go for the KITT red grille lights too.

Keedy · 02-01-2009, 02:23 AM

replace them with RGB leds. Modify them from inside the car.

Coming from a police officer in Texas, the red on the front is illegal.

You can put them on if you want, but you can only turn them on while the vehicle is "off road"....in private parking lots.

SScattergunSS · 02-01-2009, 03:42 AM

You know what would be REALLY cool for the halo?

Black Lights!!!!!!!!

TJ91 · 02-01-2009, 03:51 AM

I wonder if you can get one of the leds that change colours, or just modify it to have one white and red led, and then change with a switch. I know thats what theyre doing hear with the underchasis lights, the leds change in any colour, but as soon as a police officer is near, or just on the road, they set it to white. Im sure someone will be able to do this for me so im excited. I have planned to have red halos for the longest time.
