Never seen those before. Not bad. I'm shocked that no one has called them ricey yet.
Legality? blue lights are illegal on anything thats not a police cruiser. You might be able to get away with white or yellow though depending on where you are.

Puddle lights/lamps are only meant to be on once the door is open. The concept is to illuminate the foot area right outside the doors so you don't step into a "puddle". It's a cool idea for mostly show but I wouldn't see it being illegal if it's only on once the door is open as intended.

ah, i actually thought they were underbody neon/led. Didn't know they had much purpose but i guess you can wire them to your dome light to hav them turn on with the dome like. I like that idea a lot.

I wouldn't wire them to the dome light if I were you. What if you're driving or at an intersection and needed the reading/map light? If the exterior lights were wired to that and you were crusing with blue puddle lamps, you're a sitting duck for tickets.

True, reason i said dome light is that when you unlock the car, the light comes on, that'd be cool when you're approaching the car. But i guess wiring it to the door light makes the most sense.
