garetheves Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Gonna get well and truely flamed for this but what the hell: I personally think Neons DONE RIGHT(And that's the key phrase) Dont look chavy or tacky. As long as they give a complete round the car glow and the tubes themselves cant be seen and the car is suitably modified then i think they look very nice when parked up, not driving round though. They look chavy on crappy corsa's, saxos and the such with poor fitting bodykits and the tubes can be seen and they only light the floor up directly below them.

Sean1933 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 i actually asked 2 traffic cops this question, with a 2 year gap in between. 2 years ago my mate got pulled for havin neons. I asked the cop if there was any way of them being legal, as previously said on here...he said if the front is white, sides orange, and rear is red. Then i got pulled a few months ago for a "randon stop" and got chatting to the cop. I asked him the same question to which he said that there is no written rule about it, and that as long as you cannot see the bulb and there is no glare then its legal......straight from the horses mouth......but i still dont know if i would risk it!

Steviekid Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 that there is no written rule about it, and that as long as you cannot see the bulb and there is no glare then its legal As it says in the link I posted above, you're not allowed to project any colour except red at the rear, you can project any colour EXCEPT red at the front and you can't look like a police car. There is no specific law applying to a glow underneath the car if you can't see the bulbs themselves. Undercar lights do give the cops an excuse to stop you though and go over your car looking for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
