*for those of you who dont know, they go in place of cap on your tire where you put air into, and are little led's that are activated by motion, so they blink while your drivin*

About the only exterior lights I like are haloz. I'm not much for any of the other stuff, ie: under body neons, wind shield squirters, tireflys, licence plate frames.

I was going to get some before they became popular. I don't like them, especially the ones that flash. If it's a solid stream of light it looks better, but I could see them possibly looking nice if done right. Depends on the LED color and the car color, and if u have underbody neons to match

those are mega-rice!

I never even considered stealing them, let alone buying them. If you want to light up your car, save your $10 and put it towards an underbody neon kit. The only benefit of tirefly's may be the extra quarter of an ounce it adds to your wheels, for the slim chance that you may get some extra traction...

sorry, but ub3r thumbs down.

Never seen or heard of them till now, but I'd say my 3yo daughter would like them on her tricycle! So send em to her when you decide to not put that crap on your car mang.
