If the finished product looks as nice as your PS does, I say go for it. I'm not quite sure I personally like the red taillights....but it definitely gives the car a different look. Very nice.

Why would it be illegal?

Yea, why would it be illegal?
Im a state inspector in texas and the reverse lights dont even have to be working (im sure its different in Rhode Island, maybe. Im almost FOR SURE it is in canada.)

But yes I think it is quite ugly also.

Well at least in BC Canada we arent allowed to change the bulb colors or lense colors of the reverse lights, headlights and turn signals. They get really pissy to the point where we cant use headlight covers (( we can but its to each cops discretion)), have to have the front plate and cant tint the front windows anywhere past the drivers shoulder. Some cops even carry decibal meters and they will pull you over and test your car. Oh well....I pretty much break 90% of those rules

yeah the laws up here are very strict, if you change the colour of your bulbs, you will get a ticket

looks terrible...nice car otherwise though.

i wouldn't touch the reverse lights. you want them bright for people to see you while backing up as well as for you to see.
