Leave them on... You can always turn them off. Most people don't even realize that I have neons on my car, because I really only use them for shows:

Actually, its not cheap... costs around $235. And it does'nt glow outside like neons. I know it is a bit ricey, but the material they used is amazing. The LED does not shine outside, it only focuses on the inside, towards the grill. And it gives a triangular light. Once the headlights are on, it is not that much visible. Only if you stand infront of it, you can see it. So, no attention grabber. Only pedestrians who cross the street infront of it, can see it. Cannot be seen from other cars. Very subtle. Tested it out today on the road.

At first I also thought it looked like neons glowing. But it doesn't. I may like it. ORIGINAL MITSUBISHI EQUIPMENT.... just for the Evo8/9. And it fits beautifully into the bumper clips! AND it has seperate harness that directly fits into the headlight harness.. so no other switch, just comes on with the position light.

hmmm....still thinking whether to keep it or not... let's see a couple more days

I would have to agree. If the definition of "RICER" is adding equipment for looks rather then pure performance then this would be rice. I think it looks ok at a car show but would be rice driving down the street
