hey there. this is my first time on the board
i finally fixed my driver side mirror with a pair of m3 side mirrors with blue turn signal. they look awsome although i heard there could be a problem regarding police since only they can have blue lights on their car.
cruise on...tucker

Make the turn signals yellow, not blue, if you don't want either tickets or other drivers having difficulty interpreting your turn signals (if you have a crash, and the other driver says that s/he didn't know that your blue light was your turn signal, you're more likely to be assigned the fault).

Welcome to the Vortex

This law is the same pretty much everywhere, it is like "inpersonating a Police Official/Officer", No Blue Lights are to be shown on any vehicle other than Police Vehicles and red for Emergency Vehicles. You should change them if you are worried about getting tickets. I have blue xenon headlight bulbs and PIAA "blue-color" fender side marker lights and drive with them all the time, but I guess I am lucky(knock on wood). Cause some of my friends got tickets for having blue headlights(and mine are way more blue than theirs) and side markers

. Well, do what you gotta do, whatever you decide, it is your Dub and your wallet.

Check with your state's DMV. Up here flashing blue is reserved for snow plows.

if i can'tchange the color i'll dissconnect and paint over them so the light housing can't be seen if i can't use the light wouldn't look cheesy to have it not working?
