A Warning To All

[MissR34]

hey everyone

just so you all know, from august 9 2007 its is illegal to have any coloured lights other than stock colour on your car.............this includes parker lights, INTERIOR light etc , and your not allowed to have neons fitted at all.........you can and they will defect you for it

i found out the hard way last night,i had blue parker/interior light, the copper didnt defect me, but was going to, got off with a warning.

so if you have changed your interior light or parker or have neons i would probably recommend you change them so you dont get defected if you get pulled over.

Interesting about no neons but its always been illegal to have any other colour apart from white emitting from the front of the vehicle, blinkers excepted.

i.e blue parkers or those blue tinged headlights.

As for the interior light.. what a load of crap lol

[SLY R33]

jeez thats shit house lol

what about neons in your boot? is that still defectable?

[/2on]

That is really really gay.......thanks for the info though

[ISC-Performance]

Ive been through regency more times then I would of liked and as far as I no this has always been defectable. Headlights/parkers have to be white or the legal ultra blue etc and visible neons have always been illegal and ricey.....

I don't mean to be rude, but that sort of shit has been defectable since... EVER, this is nothing new.

Maybe back in the day you could get away with it because cops didn't really care, but now they do.

Things like that are not needed. If you want your car to look pretty for shows put them in then, otherwise you just draw attention to yourself and others and its going to hurt people with engine and non-bolt on mods a lot more.

Just wondering if by Interior you mean just the Map lights and the Light that goes on when the doors open...

Cause I wanna replace the backlights for my instrumentation panels & gauges... reckon that'd be defectable?

-D

[MissR34]

i would say it mainly means the interior light that comes on when u open the door/map lights

however i could be wrong

who knows these days as it seems they will defect for anything and everything

FYI:

my blue interior light was actually legal according to these rules

Division 13—Interior lights

107—Interior lights

A vehicle may be fitted with interior lights that illuminate any interior part of the

vehicle.

[Luke_ENR34]

yeah thats what i said to the other guys on the cruise when u were with the cop.

aslong as they operate when the doors open they are legal. any neons that are operated buy a switch that u can turn on while your driving is illegal.

[Richo]

Oh man that sucks. Im going to have to pull the neon lights off

On a serious note though, whats the problem with coloured interior lights? thats bs

[cruzin33]

What about all these funky limousine's cruising around with neons and side piller neons

[Furiuz]

question....

i have a custom 2 guage setup install just above the cd player in the din slot. There those cheapo ones which can change like 7 different colours. i have em set to blue and they are quite bright. would this be illegal?

secondly. WTF!! its starting to get to the point where they are taking our rights away.

who would of ever imagined that you couldnt have a different colour light in your car or as gay as it is have a couple of neons inside your car. next theyll be telling us that all cars must only be the colour blue, black or white.

[MissR34]

^^^ i would go to that site and download the pfd info.

i cant tell you whether its gonna be illegal. i am not the law, there is a number that you can call as well that allows you to ask someone whether something you are doing to your car is going to be illegal or not

[barricade]

That number is : 1300882247

The trick to calling vehicle standards is :

1) Call once and get told no its not legal

2) Call again and be told it is legal

3) Call again and get told yes its legal but only on Thursdays and every second sunday of the month

4) Get defect even after they say it is legal

5) Get to regency and they reem you for everything else and forget why you are there in the first place.

[MissR34]

thanx barricade...................

i guess in the long run, with the cost of regency these days its better to find out b4 you do it, then get screwed up the bum afterwards

[Absent]

The cops will have to defect themselves now...
