ok. so, i replaced my side marker and parking light bulbs with blue LEDs. in PA, that would be illegal. i've only gotten in trouble for them twice, and they were both just warnings. i pulled out the side markers just because they were the easiest to get in trouble with, as the ones inside the headlight housing are harder to see with the HID kit.

anyway, i was thinking.....you might've seen that the new Audis have LEDs on the bumpers, in the headlight housings, and even in the taillight housing. white ones, with a bluish "tint"(kinda like XENON bulbs). obviously, these aren't illegal, or Audi wouldn't be putting them in factory installed. so, does this make them LEGAL? would we be able to put them in, and NOT get in trouble? stating the case that if they were ILLEGAL, why does Audi put them in THEIR cars?!?!

Picture?

You can get away in PA with HID's as long as they arent too colored but any color sidemarker other than amber i wouldnt try.

It is ILLEGAL because you have BLUE ones, while the ones from Audi uses WHITE ones.

that's what i figured. so, is it safe to assume that the white one's would be "safe?"

I thought my friends GTI had white ones as well factory. I'm pretty sure you can have them.
