Re: Candyman ... or anyone else ... thoughts?
Hey their Jabouty,
Sorry, just catching up on posts. Anyways, I think it would be a cool mod, and what I would do if I were doing it would be to go with hooking up all the lights as planned but also set them up on a little toggle switch to kill them if need be. Then I would run with them on all the time and see how things go. If they do stop you, apologize and say that you are in a PT Club or something along those lines, added the lights for shows, and parades and so forth, and forgot to turn the switch off. To me, I would kinda think if you were cool with the guy you most likely would get off with a warning.
Honestly they are pretty subtle light mods and I kinda feel that they wouldn't say too much. Big 18 wheelers like I used to drive often like to add lights all over from the orange running lights, to multiple brake lights, and so on, and the Federal DOT has no problem with them in all 50 States in the US, and some of those guys really take it to the limit!
Here were talking lights that only operate with the brakes, and turn signals. They aren't flashing, or really causing much of a distraction as far as I can see really. I know I will probably catch some flok for this but I say go for it, and just put the switch just in case, and be done. To me its no more a big deal than like adding the third brake light mod to the rear wing of a PT (Which I have always thought was a cool mod their Crewzin and Sooner), or Slayerdarkcross with his rear wiper swap out for a bright red LED mod, or any other of the dozens of examples I can rattle off here, so I would think you should be ok as long as you are careful and safe with it, and like I say, if you have the switch, and anybody does say anything your all good.
That's my two cents anyways. Good luck, and if you do decide to go through with it, please click some pic's for us!
