I have a LED kit, and have had no problems iwth it. They glow 7 different colors, flash like 20 different ways but definitely get LEDs, the last much much longer. yes they are illegal in maryland but i have a remote control for mine, so I can just have the remote in my hand and turn them off quickly no tickets so far. but i also live in baltimore city, cops have more important shit to do than pulling me over for neons
