Some of you suck arse with your coments some times, do wotever you want to your car dude. As for instaling them tis easy and no better way to learn bout cars then to try for yourself. Took me pretty well a whole day and few beers later, mainly cause you gotta go round wheel arches and thread cable through chassis holes. Make sure you connection are well soldered and shrink wraped lots of volts with neons :D

ps been pulled by the cops twice and now have a warning bout them

heres my finished product

azron - just to confirm.... neons are LEGAL is they are not red white or flashing? (in victoria) vicroads actually said that?  thats the first time i have heard anything like that.  i thought they were illegal full stop.

It doesent matter what vicroads says coz if a cops stops you and see's em you will get defected depending how far the pole is up the cops ass at that time

All forward facing lights must be white, all rear must be red (minus the reverse lights and indicators). Under car neons are NOT illigal in victoria but I agree if you do get an asshole cop he'd probbaly try and defect you. That info was straight from a cops snout too.

hehe maybe ill write to vicroads, get written proof from vicroads that neons are legal (taking into acount all the regulations above), and then carry that proof with me, so if a cop trys to defect me.... bam.

that would probably piss the cop off more and he'll try real hard to get me on something else lol...

maybe not such a good idea

really now? So its entirely mr policemans call?.. bummer. So if you have a bad run with the cop he can defect you for nothing ?... i wonder if anybody has thought that they were been defected on inapproapriate grounds or something and taken it to court to get sorted?

dont know about other states but in vic bracks in his infatuate wisdom has made it so that 'in the opinion' of the cop they can defect you if they think something is unroadworth in ur car is 100% stock.

how much are neon kits btw? (not including installation) i know they come in different sizes etc but roughly how much....

I'm a fan of neons, but i wouldn't spend much money on them when i could be spending that money on something that improves the performance of my car...

Man daz unreal, I read that when you install the you should put silicone on the tips as so to prevent water getting into them and stuffing them up :drooling: OR the smart thing to do is buy water proof ones :flamer:

just get em installed properly. I got mine installed for 200 bux and there were a couple under the dash as well. If u get em installed then u most likely get a lifetime warranty on the installation. Neons look phat on the right ride and ppl will onli rag on ya cuz they got conflicting tastes. Plus chix dig it WIKKDLY cuz they like bright stuff. And if it came down to it, i'd rather get laid....

martydaman - had them on was in a country town bout 200 k's from adel

philmak - as for silicone never used had mine on yr and half no probs all work fine drive car daily in rain :D

krzysiu - i think stickers real or not down your doors and pictures of your car in every post is attention seeking but hey

what do you mean by 'has made it'? Did he actually change the law? Ive told this to friends and family and i keep getting pushed back with crap like " you should't believe everything you hear" and "You should be more skeptical"... and "how can that be possible?, this is a democratic society" so on and so forth. I

NSANT - i believe what your saying and i hope that i haven't written this in an offensive way because im not trying to be aggressive but do you have any more details on this bracks thing? I'd love to prove everybody wrong.

If you were gonna get it done professionally, it'd cost eleventy billion dollars...

hahahahah that made me laugh my head off

but seriously if u want neons... then go for it. any car stereo place will install them for you. just make sure they dont drill into ur spare tyre (yes it has happened to me)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
