Dont know if yhis is the right place to put this question,but does any one know the laws on neon/LED under car lighting? Have been told many different things.
Alot of people have said............The blubs shouldnt be visible,should be 1 steady colour(not flashing) should not be on the front of car,and should not be blue,green,or red.

As what i understand you can have them as long as the front is white, sides are orange and the rear is red. Of course it would look daft. I dont think they are aloud to be visible either, just the glow. Just switch them off if you see a cop car and apologise to the nice pig if you get pulled over and say it never happen again.

pretty much whats said above, with one major exception... you can have them on when you are parked up.
its only when moving that they become illegal

as 4 neons i had a chat with a cop and he said the bulbs can not b visible or flash they must b a constant glow you can hav any colour as long as the bulbs arnt visible and dnt flash ,so basicaly as long as all u can see is the colour glow on the floor its gravy!!
