ohhhhhh..... very very interesting...

I think they look great - cool idea, and I really doubt you'll have too many problems with the boys n' blue. Just put a hidden switch on them and when you get pulled over, shut them off and tell the officer that you don't know what he's talking about. When he says you have blue lights in the front, tell him "yeah, I heard they can look that way at certain angles - I've seen that before too..."

Got an idea to substitute it with reflector from 4.8 (got two on the shelf)...
Here is reflector without borders. Dia. 15.5 cm

Don't know about new england but in MD you would get nailed for adding anything "blue or red" to the front of the car.
