Neons have to be on a totally seperate switch, and it's illegal use them on the road, so I've heard.

Yeah they are illegal on the road. "Show use only".

surely to many lights on a car will make it look like a christmas tree though.

undercar neons look good when fitted properly (ie. the neon bars not visible) a lot of people think they look pants because of people fitting them with the bars showing. i think that to many lights make a car look tacky but thats my personal opinion, although i like undercar neons but think they only look good when the bars arnt showing or when its on a car that suits them.

as far as i know the washer jets and number plate lights are illegal, and i've seen them on so many O.A.P's and people blatently not into modified cars having them on and police have not taken notice of them.

could it be that police are simply picking minor faults on people with modified cars?

just my thoughts anyway <img border="0" alt="[cwlater]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions047.gif" />

They are illegal, sorry i ad to add it x

yea ive heard they r illegal too! they do look smart as u said only if they r fitted properly!

Correction, Neon Lights are not illegal.
It is illegal if you can see the "Coloured Light" or (Neon Tube) itself, It is not illegal to see the "Emmission" from the Neon tube.

There has not been a proven case in the U.K. for showing neons on a car.

I have tempted several officers to try the case in the court of law and they have not liked it at all......

Be warned if they dont or carnt do you for your neons they will possibly check your car for other defects to procecute you for....

Yeah, specially if you "get one over" on them

well thats news to me! lol!

well i got pulled for them when i entered one of the tuesday meets about 4 months ago and got fined but i wrote a letter to them asking for the laws against neon undercar lighting and they have not been in touch or sent me anythin about any laws? :rolleyes:

and i never paid!

i was stopped for mine but because u can not see the bulbs he let me off!! get them fitted properly and ur laughin as long as ur car is sound and has nothin illegal!!

mine were u cannot see the bulb at all! i think he was just tryin to prove somthin!

well they aint got much 2 do have they like stop criminals, so they decide to pick on ppl with coloured lights under there car instead!! well sad!

i want neons but ive heard its 3 points on your licence 4 every one tube which is 12 points straight away and a ban cause im 17 is it true?

Dont believe everythink you hear.... (Chinease Whisper)

cheers

so are the illegal or not ???

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

there illegal if u can see the tube ^^like a few people have already stated

and if the light of the neons reflects off your exhaust thats illegal too aint it (im not too sure)

so get ya exhaust really dirty !! hehe

Confused as hell now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh

Yes or no answer on a good known example. If the police pull owen(neon O) for his blue undercar LED's or his interior neons.Can they prosecute on any of those items.As u know u cannot see any of his tubes,only the glow

Yes or no answer only!!!

NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo

Yay,rite then im gettin me another 5 LED tubes for inside my car and a full undercar neon kit,all in green obviously.Also need to prime my mouth for tellin the law to get lost when they tell me to turn em off haha.Cheers scoob!

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
