Just to let you know, nothing on the market is DOT "Approved"...it can only be DOT compliant or meet the guidelines that are set-up by DOT...

Polarg's are neither DOT "approved" nor legal...

I have Polarg's for corners, turn signals front and back and the little front sidemarkers and I have not been hassled for them

Odds are, you would be pulled over for them because they are not amber or b/c they emit a bit of blue...

I sat in front of a cop at a light with my blinker going and it lit up his whole car and he didn't care...

my clearance bulbs light up the next 2 lanes of freeway beside me. as long as they are amber most dont care. u may get pulled over for headligths being too bright or being like purple or green or soemthing. but chances are they wont get you for that.. but if your drilled for speeding or soemting, thats jsut mroe stuff they get to cite you for.

cops only pull you over when they are bored out of their minds in regards to the bulbs.

i never got pulled over...i think it has a lot to do with us driving four door sedans instead of riced out civics...it almost seems to me like cops just look the other way when passing a max
