    Not sure what your talking about you have to have taillights and as far as I've heard LEDs are not illegal here in MI.

    i'd say if they are "DOT" approved then you can run them, and if they're not you can't. look at the lights and see if its has an "DOT" stamp on it.

    A lot of new cars have LED tail lights, so whoever told you that is spaced. They probably heard some story based on Mike's correct comment about DOT approval and botched it.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
