Legal Issues

Legally, the whole issue of using neon in and on cars is covered in the UK by 1989 Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations. These date from a time before neon was in use, and the strictest answer is that until there's a court case there will be no definitive legal position. We want our customers to make informed choices, so we spent some time consulting with the Department of Transport. And what they said, which applies within the UK only, boils down to this:

* According to Regulation 11 of the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations only red light may be shown from the rear of a vehicle. There are a very few exceptions to this, including amber from indicators.
* Red light must never be shown at the front of a vehicle
* Blue should be avoided, since it is strongly associated with emergency vehicles.
* The law covers lamps at the front and sides, and not light coming from the underside of vehicles. Neon systems aren't lamps, but they do create light that's easily seen. The wisest course is to abide by the colour regulations outlined: red at the rear, amber at the side, and white in front.
* Interior lighting is not generally subject to the same regulations, but the use of neon could alter that since it's clearly intended to be seen from outside the vehicle.

Neon is clearly intended to be seen outside the vehicle?

I have footwell neons, how the hell can I expect them to shine outside the vehicle? <img border="0" alt="[Roll around the floor laffin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions065.gif" />

I spoke to an officer a while ago and he told me himself, for it to be an offence, the neon TUBE should be visible.

If the neons are fited properly and you CANNOT see the lighting TUBE, then you're ok

even though not showing the bulbs or tubes are legal , failing to turn them off at an officers request is a bad idea! if they ask u to turn them off do so, dont tell them to **** off cos u will end up with a fine for that at least lol
