hahahaha.. i clicked that link..

i'm fool

i think it is a defect.. because it distracts other drivers..

You didn't hear this from me... (or SAU or the manufacturer or anyone else, big disclaimer... I'm not game to test them on this one!) But:

I work for Aerpro and we've heard along the grapevine that Vic police will allow neons inside a car if they don't flash.

This EXCLUDES: washer LEDs, under-body kits, internal LEDs, big flashing dance lights, etc. In fact Vic police are pretty #^%ed off about the washer LEDs - they're the ones that they go after most of the time.

Other states are different, I heard somewhere that the QLD police are fining people $200 plus three points if your neons aren't red?? You hear all sorts of stories...

As Aerpro products are marketed internationally we can't say on the product what the legalities are for each state - it says on the product that the onus is on the purchaser to find the legalities in their state or territory, they are for off-street and display use only.

Basically, any external light on a vehicle that doesn't meet ADRs (red for stop, clear for reverse, orange for indicators) is illegal and can be defected. It's up to the copper's discretion...

So just be nice, smile & hope it's your neons that caught their eye, not the massive amount of boost that just flew past! :P

Copper down our way gave us a warning that they were illegal when we had these on our R31.

After the warning I hooked them up to a 3 way switch, where down was on continuously and up was a momentary "flash", but still wasn't game enough to use them.

This topic has been done to death, try using the search function. :P

The following is from Bluey, MCCR Police liaison.

Hope this help you:

There has been a lot of confusion in regard to the various colour neons, washer LED's etc in regard to what is and isn't allowed. This has come about because there are several rules and guidelines that effect them. Reports have been submitted to both the Police Policy section and Vic Roads to order to clarify it a bit better.

The Road Safety (Vehicles)(Vehicle Standards) Regulations 1999 S.R. No 54/99 Division 19 Section 118(2) states;

A vehicle may be fitted with any other light or reflector, except (unless sub-clause (3) applies) -

(a) a light that flashes; or

(B) a light or reflector that -

(i)shows a red light to the front; or

(ii)shows a white light to the rear; or

(iii)is shaped or located in a way that reduces the effectiveness of a light or reflector that is required to be fitted to the vehicle under the Vehicle Standards.

Although that says other lights can be fitted provided the above conditions are met the Vic Roads Technical Guide for Vehicles states;

Vehicle Standards Information 10: Installation of lights on Road Vehicles

Motor vehicles and trailers intended for use on the road must be fitted with lamps that comply with the Standards for Registration which for vehicles built on or after 1 October 1991 are the ADRs. The standards also prohibit a vehicle from being fitted with a lamp or reflector that is not required or permitted by the standards.

Road Rules - Victoria state

Rule 219

A driver must not use, or allow to be used, any light fitted to or in the driver's vehicle to dazzle, or in in a way that is likely to dazzle, another road user.

Definition of dazzle

1.v.t. confuse sight by excess of sight , intricate motion, etc, confound or surprise by brilliant display or prospect.

2.n. bright confusing light

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
