Default led's in headlights? need your opinion

ive done this on my old 96 ram and was thinking about doing it to my 02 ram but unsure what it would look like.
i have the hella's behind the grille and was going to upgrade them to hid 8000k so blueish
and put the leds in the headlights and fogs and maybe also in the hellas too .
what do you guys think? i love the blue but was also considering red.
which ever color i go with i was going to put some lights in my 2 storage consoles and maybe the dash lights

just wondering what you guys think. thanks!

here is my old ram

i was just at autozone and saw some neon tubes that were red , might work great for what you want , could mount it behind the grill where its out of sight and then when you turn it on BAM! red grill.
that would be cool.
i might try that today with a blue one, i just earned $20 on my autozone rewards card.
if i do i will post pics of what happens.

Looks good sitting still but the 5-0 will probably have something to say going down the road

Exactly. Red and blue are a no-no on a moving vehicle. In some states, there are even more restrictions as to who can have orange, white, green, or yellow. As long as you are just doing it for show while parked you should be ok though.
