Best place outside your car would be your next garage sale. In Wa, blue lights visible from outside the car are illegal on the road.

If your not in the states: on the back of the rear veiw mirror (facing forward-the windshield).

If they were yellow, I would say on the door mirrors, and hooked up to the turn signals

So why do you want LED's?

The first cop that sees you will probaly pull you over and order you to remove them; maybe even ticket you. That doesn't bother you?

hey evan, anyway's i'd ignore half the losers in here telling you yer lights are rice and all that ****. I'd say put them on the inside of your mirrors, not on the lens but on the inside, like all the cop cars have them! Chances are you will eventually get pulled over for them, but most of the cops in CR will just tell you to take them off and show them within 7 days that u actually did take them off, no fine, no biggie. O by the way, my cars goin on the road in 1 month, we'll have to go do some v8 bashin!

i have blue rice lights and i was wondering where on my car to put them that wouldn't be ricey. UP YOUR ***, bawahahahahaha.

seriously, you aren't going to find any straight answers because they are ricey. so you must either be or not be, there is no in between.
