Whats The Deal With Neons/leds

[Mr. Oizo]

In VIC, they aren't allowed on any car that is moving.

And you can't have green, red or orange.

So you are only allowed to have them on a stationary car, in colours other than green, red and orange.

i thought neons were just a NO...end of story but talking to a macanic...he said any colour any neon any light is allowed as long as u cannot actually see the source of where the light is comming from (stick).

im totally lost just wanted to get ur thoughts and experience on the topic.

[HIPSI]

I heard over here in WA as long as other drivers can not see the source of light then they are fine..and I think they are not allowed to flick on and off so there is no distraction... but then again I hate neons so not sure if any of that is even true..

[Mr. Oizo]

how stupid is dat.....on a non moving car....bloody useless....

neons are stupid and useless.

[**JaR**]

lol werd.

whether they are on a moving, or stationary car... they are still equally as useless.

[R34NRG]

yeh i also heard that they cannot be flashing too.

[Mr. Oizo]

I reckon the washer jet ones are nice.

lol

[baron25]

AnjoO - It all depends on the cop who pulls you over, i had the head traffic cop for the southwest victoria region say that as long as they aren't red at the front, or white at the back, flashing or something else, they're fine. Another said that they're fine, just not whilst driving, another said no altogether. It's really a pot luck thing.

And drift_limo, we were discussing the legality of LED's, not the sexuality of electrical goods.

Ahhhhh just in time for the next chapter in the epic fast and furious saga haha.

[krzysiu]

[**JaR**]

[R34NRG]

[R34NRG]

how stupid is dat.....on a non moving car....bloody useless....

[paulr33]

neons in vic are allowed.

any form of lighting (wiper lights, neos, underbar lights etc) most NOT dazzle another driver, as stated by the ADR documents.

so you can have undercar neos, but they musn't flash and the officer must not deem them to dazzle other drivers, or cause a distraction, ie: pulsing colours

[nohope]

I reckon the washer jet ones are nice.

[IOWNU]

So Anjoo, are you gonna get Stage 2 or Stage 3 neons? Or do you have to upgrade your ECU before you unlock em?

lol Jokes....

[IOWNU]

hahahha....u no wat i rkn the reason everyone hates neons and stuff is cuz c**ts put em on shitty VLs or civics.....i swear i drool wen i see em on a nice car

Nice car.........neons.........nice car?

Can somebody please explain.

EDIT:

OK, maybe. I actually like the R34 GTR from 2F2F.

I just had a quick skim read of the Vicroads VSI on lighting and lamps.

It appears as if you can have neons, but the ADRs surrounding what colours are permitted where etc are well beyond what I'm going to get into unless I'm doing it myself (which I'm not).

If you want to be way too fast and a little furious, RTFM yourself.

[TracidTrax]

he said any colour any neon any light is allowed as long as u cannot actually see the source of where the light is comming from (stick).

yes thats true in VIC, not sure on other states

[SKY031]

Firstly. allow me to say, that moderators are not your personal secretaries.

Please post threads in the appropriate section of the forum.

This is a local question, and as such should be posted in your state section (where it has now been moved to)

No soup for you, this is incorrect.

From memory (so don't scream at me if it's wrong, I got bored with answering this question after about the 47th time it was asked) ...

You can't have red or blue because it emulates/falsely misrepresents the colours used by emergency services.

No white lights are to be visible from the rear of the vehicle (other than reverse lights)

No red lights are to be visible at the front of the vehicle
