Why? What is the purpose of these? I only see them on "ricer" cars. What is the function of them? Any? Just another place to put a light? Cheap neons? I don't get them. Can anyone explain them? I guess to each his own, I'm not meaning to criticize.

They serve one purpose, to let everyone know the person driving the car is openly gay. But i guess some people just put them on because they are cool.

One function - To show off how pathetic the driver's taste is in modding(if you can call it that) their car. They serve no real function, they're ugly, tacky and just plain annoying. But if you "trust the pro's at Auto Zone", then that is your idea of modding a car.

Aren't those lighted nozzles to let the "blinger" behind the wheel know his neons are on under the car as well?? Or is it (as a Cop friend surmised) an aiming point for other gang members to shoot at?? Don't know.....they are a stupid upgrade in any case....
