Stealth parking lights question???????

I know there's a way to have your parking lights come on just when the blinker is operated for the 2k and 2k1 but my question is has anyone that has this mod ever had any trouble with the law?

I'm thinking of doing it but I don't want to get pulled over all the time either.

I have it.. cops here are strict.. but i don't think they really notice it yet.... and my car almost "looks" like stock... so maybe this spring when I put everything on.. they'll target me...

I think it will be okay though... as long as it blinks orange... I'm fine :-)

well I've never had any problems with the white parking lights so I'm assuming no problem if they don't see them on. You see when you live right outside NYC the cops aren't really concerned with the little things. I just wanted to see if other members that live and drive primarily in suburbia had any problems. Just looking for feedback, not questioning.

I may be wrong for saying its off topic but you didn't really answer anything either. All you did was respond with a question or concern. Not much help but thanks.

BTW thanks maxilvr06. I don't I'll win vs. a guy who averages over 6 posts a day.

The stealth mod is done by applying a small piece of electrical tape over one of the nubs on the bottom of your 1157 bulb in the front. You will have to figure out which one is the correct nub to cover through trial and error. When done correctly, the front parking lights will only light when the blinker is operated. And if you all ready have the fog light mod done then only the fogs will come on without the parking lights.
