i got pulled over for have blue LED's and he told me to pull them out right there, so i said what colours are legal and he said white, red and yellow.

but fugg nose why red because he said blue is illegal due to the police lights, but then i thought so is red ya wanker!

so i have red led's in my EF and i have pulled up behind cops and driven towards them and never even got a second look.

i allready have the leds, from solar lights hahaha but there bright!

No, they are not bright! :P

If you going to go to the trouble of running the wires etc then go spend $2 on a few good high intensity LEDs from jaycar or the like.

In the below pic I have 2x 8mm 14,000 mcd LEDs in each light for my parkers and they look much better than a single pin pointed 5mm LED you'll pull out of a solar light.

The yellow one is the standard globe compared with the LEDs
