The lighting in my car is very dim, I have had passengers that didnt even notice before.Yea dim is better. Dont want to light up the whole street when i open the door or anything
Thing is if that red led goes off while im driving somehow and a cop sees me at night then
As for the cop trouble, if you put it in a good spot you wont have any trouble, I've been pulled over at night with it on and the cops think its stock and don't say anything since you can't see it from outside the car.
