Here's a new player that contends that they're the best...
They're inexpensive and certain communities will be all over them.
I can't find them on the Putco website yet.

"It's D.O.T. S.A.E. Approved" --- Wow, oh wow.

Putco: Where the putz goes!

And the arrow-shape to them makes them look like turn signals mounted on the incorrect side.

Ouch.

LOL

I hope they work better than they were described...something about they have a nice glow to them, so they get out the right lumens to the DOT approved?

I want to see the approvals they say they have from SAE and DOT, as they'd be the first to get that.

:D

We must not rush to unduly harsh judgment. Consider, not only do they "have a nice glow to them, so they get out the right lumens to the DOT approved", but they also are "a game changer".

I wasn't aware we were playing a game of some kind; I thought the idea was to provide enough light for the driver's safety at night.

Maybe the OLD game was to see safely at night, but they CHANGED the Game, so, now, its "Getting lumens to the Dot approved areas"....because they are GAME CHANGERS!

:D

No longer "Chutes and Ladders", we're on to "Connect Four".

Slow down, Racer Ace...Connect Four is kind of advanced; let's not jump steps. Chutes and Ladders, then Candyland.

WOW WHAT A H8ER WHAT ABOUT INNOVATION? WHY U GOTTA BE SO PEDANTIC AND CONDESCENDING?????? :)

I almost would have bought this, except you spelled "pedantic" and "condescending" correctly.

Just remember that people are going to buy these and put them on a whole bunch of vehicles.
They're cheap, they look gamer/tuner-cool, they're LED, and they're cheap.

Do you have any real intel, Virgil? Where are they made? Are they indeed compliant and legal here?

The hawker in the video is just a sales rep for a retailer. You can't blame him too much for incorrect jargon.

Carnak focuses intensely on an envelope:
