Z4M Police Car

So i wouldnt really consider this a mod but defiantly a fun way to get pulled over. Disclaimer: I am aware this is highly illegal.

When i was taking out my LEDs one day i noticed that if you mess with the 2 wires they are powered by they start to flicker. Sometimes really quickly sometimes really slowly. After some time i manipulated them so it was a constant flicker. Looked pretty cool. Resembles a cop car for sure. I did both sides and at night it looks like im an undercover. in a BMW

I drove on the highway tonight and people actually slow down. LOL Obviously i dont let them flicker all the time. This weekend i am going to mess with the side marker LED and the License plate ones. All those lights flickering LOL. Heres a vid i took of them in action. Ill get one at night also.


funny sounds like the light is flickering to my music in the back
