New to me. Look ugly at first glance, but they might grow on me-

Uhhh....I kinda like them. I mean there are some SERIOUSLY ugly Altezza's out there for the '03+ Neon's. These DO have the red reflective on them...I would have to say these are legal...and if cops look good enough...they should be fine.

This is VERY true. I noticed that myself....it just seems that with that reflective red on the tails they would be ok. But.....who knows? Your probably right.

Yeah I saw those from a company off of the SRTforums. I like them from all the other ones I've seen. And it should be legal since there is a reflector, red brake lights, and a white reverse light.

i could be wrong...but i am like 98% sure all lights have to be dot certified to be legal...and if they don't have that on them...then i don't think they would be....some places i'm sure if they were illegal you could get away with them...but i know around my area u would be pulled over faster than it even takes to install them....lots of my friends get fix it tickets for their DOT CERTIFIED lights which are legal!...o well..

Good point, and you are right. They DO have to be DOT certified to be Officially LEGAL. AND alot of people to get stupid tickets for these lights. So...now all we have to do is get someone to be the ginny pig. Any takers?? :D

I don't think they look too bad, either. And they're quite unique. My only question is... How bright are these LED's? Sure, someone can call them super-bright... Guess it would depend on how blind the person is that's looking at them...

Meh, I still like the stock tails more. Original, but not my style.

they might not look so bad if they were tinted. dont know if it will be legal in its tinted state, they may not be bright enough since its coming from a couple of LEDs
