Next mod: LED Projector illumination... to do or not to do?

While taking apart my headlights to install CCFL angel eyes I got chance to test my next idea for mod. It took me about an hour to figure out best LED position/reflection point to have perfect illumination and not to interrupt my new 5300Lm 50W HID setup.

So what do you think guys? Will I get a lot of police attention?

Guys I think you're missing the point here. This is a small blue LED with
resistor (to power from 12V) which produce the blue light to illuminate
the projector. It doesn't illuminate the road at all and obviously not
going to blind other drivers. It's just aesthetics mod.

That looks quite blue so I think you are eventually going to get a ticket or worse.
