I've seen it in person it looks good, its not like you are driving around with them on, its on when your pathway light is on..but to each his own, and I like it
+1 i think they look pretty good. i understand how people might think its a little fast and furious, but its not like he's putting the whole neon underglow

i was actually thinking about these before. the only things that got me thinking were what alpinewhite said about them burning out, and if i accidentally hit them while going over a bump if it ever happens.

Why will you get pulled over for a light that only come on when you parked. I think you're mistaking these puddle lights with the neon tubes that are on all the time below the car.

I have seen these light in HK on a Skyline GTR and they were full time on.
I supose it I wire them to the doors like my LED then they be OK.

A little to "bling" for my tastes. It's the sort of thing I'd put on a Skyline, Lancer or Accord, but not on an E60. My $0.02...

I'm very hands-off in the wiring side of things, but how easy is it to wire these to the LEDs so they would come on when the side view mirrors do? Can that be done? thanks!

is there any warranty on the life of the LEDS?

if so, I will pick up a set for sure especially the price you are offering it
They are covered for life against defects but we of course cannot cover issues related to use such as scraping on bumps.

with my setup I have wire each LED under each door of the lights so that you can not see the wire.
