"any lights you change or add to your car is against the law." now that the bs is down, as long as they arent too noticable you shouldnt have a problem, id put them on a switch anyway just incase you happen to be driving my a group of cops.

No it is perfectly legal to have white LED's on the front of your car. You put some 1W on there without a front reflector and blind people then you will have a problem.

Here is the break down. You can add amber or white to the front. The white must be stead on and the amber can either operate as a blinker or running light. I actually have two LED tubes under my car that function as blinkers and it is perfectly legal.

On the rear you can add red, white, amber. The red must operate as a stead on running light or a brake light. The white must only be used for license plate illumination or for back up lights. The amber can only be used as a turn signal.

Flashing lights (other than blinkers) are strictly forbidden and they can get you in deep trouble. Any colors other than red, white, amber are strictly forbidden.

After paying tickets for many crazy lights I rigged up.. I learned the laws and modified my lights legally.
