hi there

i got 2 neon\'s in both my foot wells and there blue like most people have,just wondered if there illegal to be on whilst driving cause i got pulled over few weeks ago and the copper saw them and didn\'t say anything. was he being OK about it or is it illegal?

I\'m not really sure if its changed but the rules used to be
no white light showing rearwards (except gearbox switched reverse lights)
no red light showing farwards

the question I have to ask is why do you have your footwells glowing blue when your driving. what purpose does this actually serve

I think they are illegal to have on when divin. Ive put a hidden switch in the glovebox for mine just to be safe incase i get pulled over.

Would be much easier to ask a traffic cop or area traffic vosa centre they will tell you i\'m sure

you don;t think they will see the glow when you drive past

i just like the blue glow mate and i like them on when i drive, oh well if they say anything ill just say didnt no and disconnect them,simple

P M S L
this BTW is nothing new (except neons are used now) when i was young many many years ago we used to jack the sus up at the back (dragster style with 13\" wheels still ) of our mk1escorts, cortinas, capris, etc and fit fog lights above axle and front inner wings result> red glow under the car

My footwell neons are red and dont light up the the whole car so no, unless ur drivin by a cop in a 4x4 they aint gonna see the glow under the dash. If i had my red interior light on then they\'d see me comin.

sorry miss read thought you meant under the car

im thinking its not illigal, only way it could be is if it proved a distraction while driving, it all depends on who pull you over. i doubt very much you\'d get a fine or points, they\'d probs just advise you as its probs a bit of a \'grey area\'

i have blue neons under my footwells and have them on all the time. no-one has ever said anything so leave em on mate cos they look the biz!

yeh cheers guys, thanks for advice

Why even bother hiding the switch? you\'re not going to get a Police Officer jumping into your car pressing all your buttons on your dash.

Maybe you all need to go on a Pass Plus driver training course. I can\'t believe you\'ve passed your license when you don\'t even know where the pedals are!!
