That can't be a factory option. In many states, it's illegal to have a blue light of any kind on a moving (non-emergency) vehicle. Are you sure it wasn't a dealer add-on?

OMG.

Someone alert the NHTSB. First it was Altezza's, now it's underbody neon.

What's next? Lighted washer nozzles? :rolleyes

I think it must be a dealer installed option as they're not legal in all states

Dealers will put anything on a car to make a buck. Been going on for years...

Sex sells. So does rice these days. Those other brands would be great, but the money lies in the crap.

Sad, but true.
