Re: undecided on what color to choose
here where i live its ok to have under car lights, but they dont want them 2 be visable.
like all they want 2 see is then light shining on the road. if u can see it thru a mesh grille bumper ull get pulled over.
Blue is defintaly illegal but if ur parked with them on, its ok. other wise ull get pulled over. i kno this lol.
colors that pass in front of head lights, white, amber, and yellow.
in the rear amber, yellow, and red. white for the reverse.
Re: undecided on what color to choose
i think i may enquire in to this with an police officer or do some research.. becuase i cant risk driving with neons on as i already have 6 points.. any ore points and im back on a ban and they will take my license away and id have to start from scratch and get a provisional and do my test all over again as im doing now.. :(
but im not sure im feeling white under car glow... :\ my cars already going to be white as it is...and then i have HID's might be overkill on the white...
i currently have blue ones...... hmmm
Re: undecided on what color to choose
you dont get points over silly things like neons
blue and red are bad to choose, the cop could be a dick and say you were pretending to be an officer :|
you can really only have white and amber on the front of the car and red on the back, but that would be stupid, even white neon is not allowed, ive done a lot of research into this subject btw
i think it is silly its not legal (only when your car is moving is it illegal) but besides being a distraction on a sort, the glass from the neon tubes can break (ive broke mine before) and in turn become dangerous im assuming, there was several other things but i cant remember
i wouldnt worry about them unless your building a true show car

You're forgetting he's in UK, hunter, and their point system is different. And getting a license again from scratch for us in US is about $25-50... For them in Europe it can be upwards of $2,000. Plus, I remember hearing a while back that if you pass your driving test in an automatic car you're not allowed to drive manual unless you retake the test in a manual transmission automobile. :shock: :D

4g63gst20, so what did you decide on the alarm LED? Are you re-wiring it or just leaving it be blue?

The alarm LED i'm not installing at the moment, ill just see if i can exchange it at a local shop. but the LED scanner is already installed and its red, so that means i'm going all red, already ordered the red LED strip for the interior.

I'd still highly suggest to go with white LED bulbs for dome light and cargo area light for visibility and less trouble from Johnny Law in case you need to turn it on while driving.
