I have my rear lights full exterior LED lights and I'm starting to work on the front. I have turned my daylight lights to Blue 19LED sockets on each daylight driving light. My Night lights are blue LED's on low and high beam and I'm turning my turn signal lights to the Blue LED lights by installing the resistors so they don't run a race against each other. my driving lights in the daytime I installed LED lights with 19 blue LED's that are only on in the day time and they show I bright blue that is unmistakable. Is this fully illegal to have blue LED's as your turn signals??

Yes. Law states:

From the front, parking lights and turn signals must be yellow.

From the rear, parking lights must be red and turn signals must be yellow or red.




I'm no police officer, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express.

It depends on what state you are in. I know in Kentucky they like to give you tickets for blue lights. They claim blue lights are for emergency vehicles only.

I like the amber lights it's the only reason I haven't done LEDs or clear signals.

Rage against the machine. Or flirting with disaster... blue lights anywhere on the outside of your vehicle is asking for trouble. Now you can have all the blue lights you want inside your car unless they shine forward or rearward.
I think he's yanking our chain.

God I hope so. Just the blinker being on flashing blue here and we would have problems and I'm pretty laid back.

ahhhh yeah! LED Switchbacks! Flash amber while turn signal is on and then stay white when turn signals are not on. Super bright too! We have different colors as well. Some of them are in stock and some aren't. PM me to figure out whats in stock or colors you are looking for.

I have a pair of these and installed them and in the daylight I could barely see them, the only time they were affective was at night and they were dim even at night, do I need a booster to get these to shine??
