Hi, all the dash lights/dials etc on my car are lit by blue led's, and to finnish it off i was thinking about converting my interior light from being 1 single bulb to a few blue led's. But i was thinking and the police might not like this, as at night when the doors open etc, people may think its a police car(if they see it in their mirror or just catch a glimpse of it, Ok the lighs not goin 2 b on unless im the doors r open, or i put it on too look 4 sumfin)
Sounds stupid i know, but i suppose its something to consider. what does every1 think, will i get pulled as soon as they see it (if in getting out of ma car or sumfin), or should i just risk it, Or forget the blue and just get white led's??
thanks for any views/oppinions)

I've got one 10k led in each side and its plenty bright enough. If you have the single longer bulb type light, I would recommend two leds.
