You don't have huge holes all over the place in the roads from them explanding and contacting in the heat and cold like we do in NY. Everywhere has construction.

If you install them using aquarium sealer they won't leak or fall out, that stuff holds like crazy. The only way they'll come out is by cutting them out with a razor.

I install the blue dot's on just about all my hot rods, I love the way the brake lights look kinda pink when braking. Although blue lights are illegal in most states because of police, they usually don't mess with you for the blue dots because they don't actually project any blue light.

I'll give it a try using just aquarium silicon. If by some chance they fall out I can always get a replacement. Even though I love the look of blue dots I am an unlucky bastard and I know that I would get ticketed at some point.

With your charm and personality, I find that hard to believe Capt!

Why yes I am quite a warm and charming guy, thanks. I'm usually pretty good at talking my way out of tickets. Especially if I can make the cop laugh at me. :)

We're not far behind here. It's like 60 right now and it's supposed to stay that way tomorrow also. But then back down to the 20s next week.

I really like that mod, adds to the retro feel of the car. Where'd you pick up the dots from?
