    I like it! Have you seen the studer on stop lights you see on some trucks and firetrucks/ambulances? The ones that blink on at first then go steady?

    I would consider doing something like it if it could be made to fit right and look good. I would also like to find a good rear fog light. Anything that would add to the visibility, not draw much current, and look OEM would be great.

    All joking aside... if you really like it, I think you ought to go for it! If you're into it, I bet you'll find a way to make it look really cool. :)

    your safe...in front of a keybpoard instead of behind the wheel of your Prius. Enjoy your brew and post away... BTW, I went to the Illinois Secretary of State's office to get my new address on my driver's license. They had a large sign on the wall that said 'the average DUI cost the driver his driver's license, personal time in court and DUI school for an average of $16,000.00 for the FIRST offense. That was average and may not include all legal fees. DUI's have become the most politically charged offenses that provide lots of money to the City's fathers. They know how to cash in every way possible.

    As long as you get the neon underglow lights to go along with the taillights. :p

    Seriously, I think the rnormal eplacement LEDs are just right.

    Instead of the firey lights, I want the scrolling marque...
    with secret messages like:
    "Get off my As&, Jack"
    "Your driving sukkkss"

    Stuff like that.

    ZC1,

    Is this something along the line you were thinking/wanting?

    The Original LED Autosign

    Oh, and that should be spelled: "Your driving SUXXs."

    Rokeby,

    You are RIGHT, on both accounts.

    That would fit right in with the Playboy mud guards and the rubber scrotum hanging from the back bumper. Don't forget the "Pissing Calvin" decal in the back window.

    Sure, as soon as I install the fringe across my front window.
