Depends on the cop who sees it a lot of the time. If his captain is on his ass about getting more tickets in for the month and its approaching the end of the month or if he's just a by the book cop then he'll probably bust your balls for it. Cops don't just write you a ticket, they have lots of things to do in the process; they have to check your license and make sure you have no warrants, run your plate and blah blah blah..its lots of work and on top of that he probably wants to write a moving violation instead for all his efforts and so that his record looks better instead of some stupid cite for neons...but once again its all dependant upon who the cop is who sees it and how he feels that day.

By the way- don't count on a PBA card waved in a cops face to get you out of every single ticket.

No. They are illegal in Tx. They are considered a distraction. Sorry.

It sucks, they aren't legal here either. =(

in the state of texas underbody lights are legal, but cannot be on the front or rear of the car and only along the sides within the space between front and rear wheel wells. also they are considered a distraction and cannot be in the colors of red, yellow, green, or blue. i have seen blue lights on cars and i've seen these cars pulled over and asked to turn off their lights as other vehicles will see them and be distracted from the main job of driving which is paying attention to the road. and another issue with them is that in the state of texas which is the state with the highest rate of drunk drivers in the US and drunk drivers have a natural ability to drive towards any sort of light. those lights on your car on any random empty texas highway on any given night would be an open invitation for a wreck. and finally i gotta tell you underbody lights just look tasteless, cheap, and goofy. it does nothing for performance, or power, it does nothing for the driver or any other drivers on the road and it's basically a waste of money. i don't have a problem with people spending their money i mean hell that's economics but don't throw your money down the toilet on purple lights to slap on the bottom of your honda civic (which isn't a cool car to begin with) just my honest opinion on the subject
