Hey NICOnauts, I need your opinion on something. I just purchased a set of Sexy Clear Bumper Lights for my S13 Pignose. Now I do not want to cool off the hotness by installing the stock Amber Bulbs. A while back I ran across http://www..Autolumination.com . They have LED Lights for everything you can imagine. Now here is my question. Which Color LED Do you think I should go with for the front bumper lights? I will be getting my car painted very soon, R33 Skyline Midnight Purple.

Here are your Choices: Super White, Blue, Purple.

I have always loved Blue lighting and think its kinda kool when you see it on the road. (I think its illegal though, to have any kind of Red/Blue exterior lights on at any time because that is Law enforcement notification colors but whatever) I like the hyper white because well Clear Cornes and the white would be kool. Or go all out Purple and get the Purple. I am also going to get the Dome Light and Instrument Cluster ones as well.

I did not make this a poll because as you can see after this I have listed all the S13 240sx Lighting #'s to better assist you guys down the line if you were to ever need it. I believe its in the manual and what not but whatever. This was provided to me by Tracy of Autolumination, They have EXCELLENT Customer Service there:

I dont think blue ;ights are illegal because cops use blue flashers, but because the turn signal and marker lights have to be amber. I do agree that a cop is more likely to bother you with blue lights than white.

If you dont want to use amber, I'd use white. BTW, I wouldnt spend money on lighting til I had a badass motor and suspension...

fyi, i think if you use the led bulbs for the blinkers, it will make the turn signals blink fast (as if your bulb is recognized as broken).

Always wondered why ricers' turn signals (the rare occasionas they use them) blinked so fast when they were all working...

This has been dead for some time now, but I have to responde to:

This is why Autolumintion offers an LED Equaliser which prevents Rapid Ricer Flash.
