Another thing I noticed is that the CHMSL cannot be flashing. So I guess all those mods involving making them turn signals are illegal, maybe that is covered by permitting brake lights to be dual purpose turn sig/brake.

Ever notice that LED discussions go on almost as long as oil discussions?
Like the Depo headlights, the LEDs in the IPCWs are the correct legal colors, it is just the bezels that are colored or tinted.

The only "white" light in them is properly for reverse and they are EXCELLENT, as are the reds. Very visible.

I see tractor trailers that have "white lights" till they are lit, then bright RED.

Don't know if legal or not here, but looks pretty cool.
