Its a 194 bulb, but if you put anything but a white bulb in there the cops will be all over you.

You can't have any kind of blue or red lights, wether they flash or not. Don't want people confusing you for a cop or an ambulance.

It is illegal to use bulbs other than white or amber on the front of your vehicle for illumination purposes (headlights, turn signals, fog lights, parking lights) This also includes aftermarket LED windshield washer lights. The reason this is prohibited is because many police and rescue vehicles use colors other than amber or white (i.e., blue, red) to alert motorists during an emergency response. The same also applies for the rear of your vehicle, where only red and amber colors are permitted. If you have any questions about what is legal in your area, consult your local law-enforcement agency. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Why did the damn cops and emergency vehicles have to take the cool colors for their lights?

Why dont' they use green and amber?

We want red and blue!

I have some blue bulbs, that are bright white when on in that spot... it looks good, although they aren't as bright as the stock ones.

It's a 194 or 168 bulb. As for legallity, it depends on the laws where you live. For me, it can only be white or amber. I had some blue leds in there once and I had a cop pull a u-turn to come and follow me. Good thing he got stuck in traffic behind me because I had time to pull into private property and he didn't follow me. He just kinda waited by the entrance for a while.

hey, see if the cops had amber and yellow, or whatever, and the stock colors were red and blue, all anyone would want to do is get amber and yellow lights, it's not what looks cool, it's being different.
