The ones on the back are ok and cooler if they're hooked up to the brake and turn signals.The led's under the vehicla are illegal. You can have them installed but can only have them turned on while parked. Even then, some cops may hassle you about them. Cops suck that way.

I like the idea of the white light when the doors are open. Any idea on how those are tied into the door switch ?I don't believe the amber lights under the car are legal here in Texas either.

Any idea on how those are tied into the door switch ?Pretty easy, you can go to where the button is for the door, pop it out and tie in the LEDs to that. Or you can tie it into your dome light, just gotta make sure it doesnt go on when you turn on the light while driving.The white would be nice to accent the car with, I wonder how much a strand would go for. Except I would have it pointing under the car as a courtesy light. As for the tail LED strip. I think it would A) be too big for the Vibe, and B) would not look right since it's not on a truck.

underglow neons arent illegal here..when parked that is..when driving they have to be off, if not you will get a ticket..it's a distraction to other drivers..but i'd go with the blue if you were to do them

The rear LED's are legal in pa... they are considered a third break light/turnsignalThe side ones they are kinda iffy because they aren't tech.... side markersThey are on the gray side of the law... if you know what i meen?You could end up getting a ticket for them as UNDERcar lighting...
