Red LED Parking Lights/Sidemarkers/LEDs In My Tail Lights VIDEO

Akward title I know...

But recently I put red LEDs up front in my parking lights, and in my clear sidemarkers, along with trying something different with my tail lights..

2 out of the 3 lights in each tail light are now LEDs, I tried to switch ALL of them to LED, but it kept giving my a R LAMP warning on my dash, so the outsides of the tail lights are LED, and the middle bulb is a regular one.. It gives it a sequential look to it if you can see close enough..

The next video is of my front parking lights and my sidemarkers.

I personally like the way red looks all around my car, to be honest, the red LEDs that I put up front actually look like a very dark orange, I might change it all back to amber, but I dont know...time will tell.

Tell me what you all think...

Good luck with the fronts have the red look. One cop having a bad day, and he'll write them up as red. Law enforcement frowns BIG TIME on red being anywhere but the rear. To the sides and front, that's illegal.

Up to you if you wanna try to fight the courts, or pay the tickets, but it'll just happen again. The cop will be watching, to see if you fixed the front lights.

I can see the almost sequential in your tail lights. That is happening because how quick LEDs turn on, whereas standard bulbs are slowing in lighting up.

Check out my avatar... Now those are full-on sequential tail lights!
