i dont think the cops will say anything to me... you can still see it blink. there is riceburners around here that have like blue corner lights, mine should be fine i think.
the flash makes my car look teal but in the light its green, but once i fix the fender, gas door and rear bumper cover i'm getting it painted that dark green from the 00+ bonnevilles

My cars play funny color tricks at night, too. Mostly in parking lots.

Make sure that light is clearly visible. I personally don't like the look, as it doesn't really 'flow' with the rest of your car.

What about chipping? Legality?

Your headlights are going to take some serious road abuse.
