when mine were... um - inspected, nothing was said about the colour, just no flashing, and make sure the globe can't be seen.

Ive tried driving around with all three colours at one time or another, and so far no sticker ! so im guesing they're ok...

also ref. this thread... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=38868

hope this clears things up

I've recently been involved in a yellow sticker incident involving neons, so I can quote first hand what is and isn't allowed.

The law according to a Dept of Transport vehicle inspector:

Neons are legal under the following conditions,

You must not be able to see the elements from a seated position in an ajacent vehicle, neons are not allowed to pulse or flash, you must not have a red neon facing forward, all other colors are acceptable, all colors including red are acceptable for the sides and rear, they must be adequatly secured and the elements shielded to avoid exposure to other drivers. You can drive around with them on.

The law according to some cops:

Yellow sticker every vehicle with neons as they are deemed a distraction to other drivers, you can't have them on whilst driving but static in a carpark is OK.

My personal suggestion is put em on the correct way, use them and know the law and your rights if you get pulled over, just remember though it could cause the cops to look for other defects on your car so keep it neat and legal.

in my opinion they just attract unwanted attention, i have heard you are allowed them aslong as the globe aint showing, but i know people that have gota yellow even though they are out of sight :?

no good comes from them....

you get more "rice boy" shit from trevs

more attention from cops

if your car is stock and you have neons thats just stupid

if your car is bombed, looks like the 2 fast 2 furious car (like danny's ) then its ok because he is riced up on every other angle so the neons dont look outa place.

all i can suggest is dont turn them on or off infront of a cop

because then they will say they are flashing, and if you are turning them off then the cops will think your guilty of something and pull you over...

[GTRboy]

ok, cos ive got a couple of blue ones like under the dash, on either side and i got a red one, in the front grill...u cant see the globe only the red light as you could say...so yer, hopefully, i wont be braggin over it, like hsowing them left right n centre, but the occasional should be ok..

thanks guys

I find this to be true also... and the ONLY thing worse than a cheap and crappy install is cheap and crappy neons - if they are so dull you can only see them when parked in the dark, why bother?

i might just do that... im a sucker for the *bling*... where'd you source them, if you don't mind me askin' ? was it a private import job, or does someone actually stock those things?

[BASSULA]
