New LED tail lights 69 Cuda

Dan, you're such a killjoy. Jonny's bitchin'-lookin' taillights are WAY more important than the life of the guy that approaches him from behind on a dark and stormy night, not to mention his toddler in the back seat. ALL of Jonny's friends says they look really keen and are WAY better than stock, no matter what some stupid machine might say.

Some of the comments in this thread DISGUST me, and make me ashamed to be in this hobby. Lights are a damned SAFETY device, guys, not a custom paint job! Yeah, we're all on the same side when it comes to inferior welds on tube k-members, but when it comes to lighting, as long as it looks good...

The selfish stupidity of so many people who irresponsibly modify their cars makes me frightened to take my children ANYWHERE on public roads these days. If any of my friends or loved ones are ever hurt or killed just so some idiot can have his "vision" of a cool-lookin' ride, I'll likely spend the rest of my life in jail for what I'll do to perpetrator. That goes for dangerous front OR rear lighting, tires too skinny for the mass of the car, top-heavy trucks jacked sky-high, and any number of illegal modifications that threaten the people around them.

A lot of you guys sound like smokers. "It's my body, and I have the right to pollute it if I want to." Yeah, you do. But you DON'T have the right to endanger the lives of those around you with your sidestream smoke. If you want illegal taillights, then buy 'em. But keep your car in your garage or driveway. "The Evil Government" is not some nebulous villain trying to take away your rights, it's representing ME, and trying to keep us all safe. It ain't perfect, but I trust it better than most folks I drive alongside on my way to work every day.

For the record, I LOVE modifying my car, and I LOVE LED taillights. I also hope that these and Spaghetti's other products pass certification, and that I have legal LED taillight options for ALL of my cars in the future. But I could absolutely CARE LESS about the opinions of a million "satisfied Spaghetti customers" if the taillights are not not properly certified by someone who didn't (a)buy them or (b)sell them. Because, unlike a lot of so-called "enthusiasts", I seem value human life above how many people I can impress with my frickin' car.

There are a LOT of great guys in this hobby. This thread reminds me how many irresponsible morons there are, too. I'd like to think that the good guys outnumber the idiots, but sometimes I wonder.
