What have you done to your DeLorean today?

re installed the rear bumper and tested the back lit letters, what do you think?

I'm wondering about their legality.

BAD.......ASS!

I don't see how its much different the illuminated logos on many trunk lids I see in front of me as I drive. Now, I cold see it being an issue if they were REALLY bright.

I'm wondering more about the color over anything else. If the color in the photo is accurate (bluish-blue), then there's probably going to be issues. Cops get antsy about exterior automotive lighting that's blue or red.

I like it too! But he's right - these might fall under the regulations on "ground effects" because they're so low - as in, show only and not for use on the street. It's also a little hard to tell what color they are but there are definitely regulations in many areas surrounding the use of blue exterior light on non-emergency vehicles.

Either way it's a job well done! Just don't get any tickets

I see what your saying now, they are bluish. Heck, it's no worse then those fake HID headlamps with the blue tint I see the ricers running on their civics, of course that doesn't make it legal.

Re-installed the door interiors, after replacing the window motors with the new A1 units.

Last night put in a new otterstat and swapped plastic coolant reservoir with new metal one. Over the past week or so I also put in new rear shocks, sanded and painted springs and spring cups, TAB's plus alignment and re-torqued rear suspension.

awesome, reminds me of the illuminated door sills. i love pretty much anything that glows blue.

yes, the lighting design is a mirror plexi box that was fitted and cut into the bumper foam, Lit by 4 blue led strips then topped with a milk white plexi so when the headlights turn on it will energize the led strips in the mirror box. It ends up being a nice soft blue glow that isnt that bright. especially when a drivers headlights are behind me. I dont see any issue with the fuzz because it is so low to the ground and it defiantely reads DE LOREAN, it isnt like it is a raw blue flashy light. My favorite part are the painted tail lights, now that in cali is definately illegal, but a cop has to be a real PR*&% to pull you over for that.
