Having Neons on ur car is just asking to get pulled over anyway... Plus their Gay.

theyre illegal in nsw classified as decorative lights..

hell you can even get booked for driving with your driving lights on.

neon lights are the bomb !!! haha, or not.

yes midnight is correct, you can get booked for even having foglamps on while there is no fog. hmmm, as for neons, well they are illegal in victoria. plus if they are red or blue well they are an even worse problem. they mite mistake ur loud farting honda civic with pumping music washer bottle lights and neons as a cop car.... ummm yes ok

[dezz]

so they are outright illegal in VIC? ive always heard different stories...so it'd be good to get the facts

1 guy told me you're allowed to have them on, as long as they dont pulsate/strobe etc.....

i assume you're allowed to have them on while parked ...

[Coupe-This]

I have heard lots of things, like green neons are legal because they are not blue or red. ie, confuse with a cop car. I personally think they can make a car look really tacky, esp those cheap ones you can buy. I spose they cant do anything if they know you have them, and they arent on. But as far as i know, they are illegal in the streets, only legal at show offs and comps etc.

Ring up vicroads and get some more different answers

the part about red etc, i heard that was because red can only be on the back of a car ie brake lights, and not on the front ie those stupid light up water jets....

either way, no neons will ever go on my car...maybe some interior 1's, but thats all....i like the idea of some UV light in the footwells.

dezz, if u want an idea, have a look at the vs calais (not sure on other models) But those things come factory with green neons inside the cabin, hehe. Not really, but they are lit up a green color.

Doesnt look too bad, i guess the main problem with neons in cabin is the brightness, need to make it a more subtle glow i would think to make it look decent

the trick with neons which most people seem to miss, is that you want to mount them so you cant see the neon bar itself at all. you only want to see the glow

so when putting them in footwells etc, you have to tuck them up under the dash, and then you'll just get the glow and not the shocking brightness of the bar.

my TX5 has red interior lights in the doors, and it looks mad before they fade out (when doors close) but UV is mad with what it does to white.

Am i the only person in history to think of this but wouldn't undercar neons get covered in mud, oil and shit, and get pelted with rocks, tar whatever?

And anyways i agree, they look ghey.

In NSW the bonnet squirters are illeagal to have wired in to a power source or even with a toggle switch to turn them off/on.

But they are allright if their purpose is soley to squirt water.nothing else.

That is also what i heard about the lights if they are on some1 may mistake you for a cop?!?

i had them on when i used to live in vic and they are legal there (green ones anyway) but i dont know about nsw, still havent found definate answer and i went through the lawbook for days

Neons in NSW are legal if you have white on the front, orange on the side and red on the back. Same goes for any other lights. Obviously looks crap.

If you have other neons, it is legal to have them on as long as your car is parked, the engine is off, the doors are locked and you have your keys in your pocket.

Sounds weird but this is what I've been told by coppers.

[Sl!m]

other colours are reserved for emergency vehicles. .. or somthing..

^^^I don't think so. Not in NSW. My mate had blue neons on while parked. The cop had a look around his car, but there was nothing to defect. Thats when he told us the keys in pocket thing.

[r34_skyline]

legal to install, not legal to turn on in public. soo for showz at your friends etc is ok.
