Washer Lights...

[kidrocket]

and also, i dont know the answer to your question, but i do know the reason that some states issue tickets is because blue lights resemble those on emergency vehicles, and it is illegal to impersonate them. thats all i know, sorry i couldnt be more help

rice rocketeer said that earlier, but since i neglected to read a lot of these posts i missed that part

impersonating an officer. - you cant have blue lights on your car ANYWHERE (reserved for emergency vehicles) and you cant have red on anything but the taillights. (again, reserved for emergency vehicles)
i had red front turn signals for about 3-4 months, cop in NY told me to get em changed "asap" 'cuz they arent legal (for formentioned reasons)

I hooked mine up to the "cars battery", I havent seen any that run on little batteries.... I have them connected there, and then run a switch into the car to turn them on and off. I also connected one of the cables (cant remember which) to the turn signal lamp, so when I put the blinker on, the lights blink too. Why would you even think someone wastes their time with little batteries for the lights, thats not practical, heh.

just be careful if you put them on..around here in mass they pull people over for every color washer light. red blue white....what ever color ...if i were you i wouldnt even bother ...i was gona put them on my car but knowing me i would use them for like a week and never use them again..

They pull people over for white? I would contest that shit

I think I'm just gonna switch my blue ones to white. Don't want to take the risk of getting a ticket.

I wired mine to a switch that runs inside my car, its also connected to all the neons under the seats. At the flip of a switch I'm glowin! I only turn any lights on when I am parked and chillin. I don't know how people drive around with neons all around em, its so distracting. Yeah, I got a $92 fine in Carlisle for those bad boys. (If you saw the white Civic on the side of road lit by the PA Troopers spot light you shoulda said hi!) I had em on inside the grounds and I forgot to turn em off when I left, when I saw the cop directing traffic I though "oh shit i got my lights on, those are illeagal, I better turn em off" as soon as i flicked the switch he shined the light in my eyes and told me to pull over. Turns out if I wouldn't haved turned em off I would have just got a warning. But since I turned them off that is an addmitance of guilt to an office(same as slammin on your brakes when flyin past a cop staked out) Stay legal kids, its not worth it!

that might be the most intelligent neon user i've ever met. bravo. good idea using a switch and even better idea only using them when you're parked. i dont necessarily like neons, but i like you're thinking...

as far as legality: i am 100% sure red and blue are illegal. and in some states any lighting on the top of the car (not used off-road) is illegal. if you want to find out about your state, call your local DMV. i used to have a pair of these lights, they were red and i also have red turn signals so it was a nice little combo. and i wont lie, when i first saw these lights i thought they were neat. its jsut all these dang ghetto rides and minivans pimping them that make them gay.i also hate the chrome housing ones...EW

hooking them up: i wired mine to the wires under my driverside dash. (mine came on with my parking lights)

Thanks.

Some freinds of mine got neons and they got an adapter that spilts the cigarette lighter, then they hooked all their lights up to that. I always thought it looked sloppy, and you got no cigarette lighter. So I just got some stereo cable and started twisting wires. I hid all the wires under carpeting and whatever trim was handy. As for wiring the washer led's:

I trimmed one of the cables and hooked it to the other set so I had less to worry about. Then I got stereo cable, hooked it one to the +, and the + lights to the other. I ran that cable through the firewall to the switch, and grounded it with the wire that was left over from the lights. Then later I added the interior lights by splicing them on. Its not hard at all, I did it and i don't know anything. PM for any questions on the confusing explanation I gave.

I wired mine to the parkings like the package said. Havent had any problems yet although they lookblue to me even though it says they are white. We will see.

Yeah i'm a newbie and just wanted to let you know how this forum helped me and hopefully i can help you (screw everyone who has nothing good to say about washerlights just cause your ride looks wack with them don't mean a damn thing to me now that i got that off my chest) i first had washer lights with 2 wires (black and white)
all i did was found my parking light wire under the hood and another wire to use as a ground. thats all but finding the right wire is the fun part.

but last week (when i found this site) i had bought a new set because my old ones burnt out. so i got the white ones that look like the xenon bulbs (white with a hint of blue i argued with a cop he said they are blue i said they were white and bottom line he said to change them but i never did and never got a ticket and i've had them for over a year now but thats in miami but if you ever see the blue ones you can tell the difference so i still think i'm right )

back to the lights yeah so i got new ones and they had 3 wires (red/black/white) the black and the white i just spliced(twisted the ends together) and connected the same way but i could have looked for my signal wire and put the white to that then they would blink with my signals but i didn't want that effect so i did it my way. well hope this helps in anyway :smoker2:
