anyone know who made these, we need to start drilling them now to make these for us!!!!! :eek: :thumb:

Led tailights is a HUGE + for me. I can't wait till I can get my filthy lil hands on some.

I don't think they would be D.O.T. legal. I know here in New York it is illegal to use led lighting with visible lights. You can have led underbody kits in a very limited number of colors (New York also has strict laws about what color lights you can use) but nothing visible. Even the led break lights they sell are illegal.

I liked how they took the reat seat and intergrated it into the Front. I was not feeling the green seats. I also liked the leather top pannel of the car. The wood pannel's were good. I wished they showed underneath the hood

In oklahoma the only colors you can't use are blue and red anything else is fair game. And even at that they wont pull u over if its solid and stays solid. They pull u over when u get red or blue lights dancing. Which I sort of understand why.

We can't use blue,red,green,white,or yellow. Lots of choices left huh? All blinking or flasking lights are illegal. Most cops around here seem to let you slide unless they want to be a *****.

well then, what do they do about cadillac srx, sts, dts taillights, or infinty? how about the prius? all these cars come stock with led taillights?

Aftermarkets must be brighter. I had a buddy who got a ticket here. He had a Mustang (go figure) and put those stupid led cluster tail lights in along with sequential tail lights. He got pulled over and ticketed for both. As far as the headlights go how many of those cars have them in the headlights? It is illegal to install leds in your headlights. Why do you think when you buy the leds to change the color of your headlights or strobes for your headlights they say not intended for street use or intended for off road use only? To cover there a**. I thought you were concerned about making the HHR look like rice? Nothing says rice more than leds. I'm only speaking of New York law also. Things may be different where your from. I only know New York because this is where I was born, raised, and where I'll die.

My wife's 06 Honda Accord has LED taillights too. I saw that Wal-Mart has replacement taillight bulbs with LED's now - it might be worth checking to see if they have the right style. The HHR taillight bulb is a 3057KX.

i am not attacking you at all, just trying to figure out what is exactly illegal there is all. I can see those crappy apc and walmart bulbs being illegal, simply because not a single one is dot compliant.

As for the headlights, the rings around them is simialr to bmw's "angel eyes" which to my last check were 100% legal in white. The leds in the SEMA are white as well, and considering that you will not be able to see them when the lights are on, i dont see a big issue anyway. Now if they were blue or red, i could see a big legal issue. The leds you are reffering to are not the same type used here.

BTW, I dont consider led's for taillights rice, nor do i consider projector headlights to be rice, but if you used them to make the underside of the car glow, or to light up your interior in a sheet of blue, then it is rice :D

Amen, were on the same page again.

You guys really need to let the "rice" comment go... you are pointing out features that originated on american cars, LOL.

Id fight that ticket in court! LED taillights are legal in all fifty states as long as they do not flash. Now, his were sequential, which is a problem. My wife is a police officer and they got a memo in the department about LED lighting in accordance with federal and state laws back when more and more were showing up as OEM. Different color lighting is left to individual state laws. In Ohio, the lights in that custom vehicle would be legal. There are loopholes in some states which claim that a vehicle may not be modified in any way, which would trump that law.

Who was the first to go with LED lighting? Anyone know? Think it was the "ricers"? Nope...the municipalities first went with LED lighting in major cities on their public transportation buses to help keep maintenance costs down, since LEDs can last much, much longer than standard incandescent bulbs. But then, I dont know where the buses were made, so I suppose that could very well be "rice". LOL

rice, rice , rice, rice, rice ;)

I think you also forgot, RICE! :beer:

at least one of you grew up out of the high school age....

sport compacts are for h.s. case closed, proof in point: i thought an srt4 was far enough removed from the h.s. age group as no one could afford insurance. i sold it after 6 months due to the fact that every fricken h.s. kid with an integra or civic would rev their coffee can cars and want to race. Talk about getting old in a hurry. If you are married and over the age of 24, you need to follow a new scene. I hope that is why you are here.

Those are some sweet looking LED/Projector headlamps!
