Default Let's see your bubble lights

Hey guys, i've been contemplating buying bubble lights rather than going with originals. Post up your pictures of your bubble lights either in day time or at night.

Theres no legality issues here? Mine are old and cracked. I'd like to replace mine as well, but before I go with the bubble ones, I wanted to make sure it wouldnt get me pulled over.

I will probably fit some small lights under the rear bumper. I am more worried about some soccer mom in an SUV rear ending me while talking on her cell phone. Without a center high mounted brake light, the two stock lights are not enough for most of the people on the road.

One thing you have to remember. . .bubble lights don't have reflectors in the lens like the stock ones do. So you're invisible at night from the rear unless you have your lights on.

So I went with '68s. . .

Not if you have BUMPERS for their lights to reflect off of
