I am fairly sure you can't drive with them on, like Emonz said, in ANY STATE. With maybe the exception of Hawaii/Alaska, not sure how they run things there.

It depends on the state. They put OFF ROAD use only on the packaging just to be legal to sell in all states. I know it's illegal to have them on driving here in VA. You also can't have them visible. If the bulbs can be seen then it's illegal.

Yeah in MN you can't have them on while driving. But for not having them on while not driving, any color is ok but blue. Right now I am trying to find out all the laws/statutes on auto mods here in the state, but specific laws/rules are everywhere, they are not in one specific bill or anything. Kinda ****ed up.

I think they look cool, but they are certainly going to be perhaps the last mod to my car. Engine first.

illegal in british columbia, canada too.

but people turn them on anyways. cops have better things to do than to pull over people with undercar neons.
