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!

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.

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

im not even sure why you would want those on your car? they look so bad, anyways each to their own.

[Guest Boxhead]

this is sorta off topic, but the way i understood the neons law, was that it can be seen directly from outside the car or its illegal( eg you can have them in your footwells etc)

[kjb_r33]

bad taste isnt a crime LOL

[Guest INASNT]

Those washer bottle leds should be saved for stock hondas with tyre r badges stuck on the back
