AHHHHHHH

Very, Cops dont like when you impersonate them with the blue lights. Thats why there is that law that only COPS can have Blue Lights,

[Beastolizer]

^ what he said

[Rodoni]

running lights as in city lights/parking lights? If there is any blue/red light coming from the front of your car in CA its illegal. It falls under the pretending to be a cop law.

edit: you guys beat me to it!

Don't forget to ad on the neon StreetGlow under car kit.

Cops will interpret that and make it illegal. You could fight it. And I guess you can have any colors.
