Neons/led Lights

[mini95]

Hi everyone,

Was just wondering if anyone knows the legalities with having neons/LED's in the inside/outside of your car? I got told years ago you could have them as long as they weren't within viewing sight. As in, they are near the floor, not on your dash and as long as the outside one's weren't on while you are driving. But I don't know whether this has all change. I will be adding a killswitch to them anyways, so I can turn them off whenever I like. I might even just hook them up to the door lights, so when I open the doors they're on.... dunno just throwing around ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated

they are illegal, just like gay marriages, and for the same reasons

You sir, are a complete idiot for this response, this isn't the wasteland. Keep your ignorance to yourself.

Now,

Neon's/LED's are illegal unless factory fitted ( The new Holden's, and euro's that come with driving lights), And many enthusiasts on this forum will flame you for the thought of putting these accessories onto your car adding the "RICER" tag to your Skyline, but at the end of the day, it's YOUR car no one else's so do what YOU want.

Red/Blue lights cannot be at the front/rear of the vehicle to stop confusion of emergency vehicles or brake lights, keep this in mind.

Why not add some Coloured Lights under the dash, and Foot wells, just to give it that nice touch for the Passengers.

Anyways good luck.

god kills a kitten AND a puppy everytime you turn a neon on in a skyline.

although in the grand scheme of things you're only slightly more pretentious than wankers that run around with japanese learner driver stickers, so don't fret.

rear facing red lights are legal as long as they are turned on with park lights, as are foglights or driving lights in front. you can try and adapt this to neons if you want (I guess run a white-yellow one in front and red in the back) and try and pass it off as driving aids.

you can't have red or blue lights inside or outside the car while driving in a way that is visible from the outside so as not to cause confusion with emergency vehicles. this includes LED's, neons, CCFLs etc and any glow from footwell lights.

you can't have a purple light on your car unless you're a harbourmaster in certain parts.

yellow lights on the turning side are also legal as long as they are activated by turning signals.

that said, you'll find 99% of this forum and most performance forums will bag the snot out of you for putting em on your car.

Well see I was thinking just having them inside the car, I have nismo pedals that have a blue backlight on them... and a couple of 9cm blue led's that I was gonna hook up to the doors and have them just under the back seats and front, just for some sort of effect. Stuffed if I know really, just throwing some idea's on how to use them as their just lying around. I have a blue light in the interior light. Didn't realise everyone hated them so much, otherwise I wouldn't have embarressed the shit out of myself by posting it. Was just curious...

maybe instead of neons you should look into focussed LED lights and hook em up to your interior lights, that way you don't run a risk legally

[t5iv]

thing is, whilst i do agree with Miso,

this is a performance firum as shan stated.

hence, people are more into the JDM Performance style instead of the sex-spec/ricer style.

so when you ask questions like that, people are going to kick up a fuss.

but its all in good humor

as long as it aint a v series your destroying, im cool.

I'm not sure if your a 100% correct on that. I was informed that you are allowed to put yellow lights down the side of your car and have them on i.e truck style. Like all the utes we see and that is legal.

I was also told that blue / red, front and back no go. Yellow down the sides of the car ok. Yellow and green on the front and back of the car ok.

But then again you look at all the trucks going around and look at the amount of blue lights they have on the front up the grills and everywhere and they dont seem to have a problem.

It does indeed sound like it needs to be changed. Now I see why he's on your list after Miss Ashley.

I wouldn't be bringing you into anything... Not after where your fingers have been...

Does it look like a mad rave doof club up there with your hektik neons glowing away inside your moist joint?

[Juz]

at what point did I say I liked neons...? or had a moist joint?

and no you wouldnt want to bring my fingers into anything unless you like the taste of your mother and your girlfreind... ohh snap :|.
