Standing out from the crowd can cut both ways...

Did you get hit by C/O, I/O or LIDAR?

Default Never had a problem so far..I just do the staredown and wink combo ;)

But then again, I've never gotten caught speeding..stunting..that's another story lol
But I guess that just reflects my normal driving habits haha I'm usually pretty careful about looking out for the coppers though too

Default Anything that stands out will attract a cop's attention.

Window tint, lowering, special lighting, colored lighting, burned out lighting, lack of front plate (in certain states), aftermarket (bling) wheels, and of course switching lanes and passing people excessively. Best way to avoid tickets is to blend in with the crowd. I'll still take the LED's though. =)

Default Re: Are those LED DRL's cop magnet?

On the way home from work today, I was passing through a school zone and a cop was in the median making sure ppl were going the proper speed. After I passed, the cop turned his/her lights on and proceeded to follow. I thought for sure I was going to get pulled over for not having a front plate (it's required in TX but the B8 looks so good w/out it) and I thought, "Man, the DRLs attracted the wrong attention this time." Next thing I know, the cop pulls up next to the X3 in front of me and tells the driver to pull over. Close call!
