hey everybody! well ive been doing some research on this subject and i just wanted to know what you guys thought about or know about it... is it illegal to DRIVE with your neon lights on? from what i have read from the DMV website that its not illegal you just need to follow two simple rules... ill post what those rules are later...

 

we r waiting grimels. Orale

 

i think i remeber hearing as long as they are not blue, red or some other color....and as long as they dont see the tube

 

i heard that too. as long as they are NOT blue or red, AND are NOT pulsing, you should be fine.

 

I think they are talking about the LED lights on the window washer spout. and I think they have to be light.

 

A Long Beach tC!!! I wonder wat the rules are too!

From what I remember, you can not drive with any kinds of neon lights on(visible to the outside of the vehicle) while the vehicle is in motion, no matter what color, now if you are parked and have them on, then its no problem. I remember this from like 3 yrs ago, so it might have changed.

 

here some info i got on this subject!!

California Vehical Code....

25400. (a) Any vehicle may be equipped with a lamp or device on the exterior of the vehicle that emits a diffused nonglaring light of not more than 0.05 candela per square inch of area.

(b) Any diffused nonglaring light shall not display red to the front, but may display other colors. A diffused nonglaring light shall not resemble nor be installed within 12 inches or in such position as to interfere with the visibility or effectiveness of any required lamp, reflector, or other device upon the vehicle.

Nice find, thanks.

 

wow, this has to be the best find on this topic yet. THANKS!

 

(I'd give you a link to the Washington state laws on this, but unless you were driving through it doesn't matter that much. The only thing Washington adds is no blue, green or red lights visible from directly in front of the vehicle. The rest is about the same: Headlights must be white, other front lights white or amber, front side must be amber rear sides must be red, rear turn signals red or amber, brake lights and tail lights red, etc.)

 

sweet find fo sho. Any know of n e shops tht do this for cheap. lemme know

 

i think the lights are still illegal no matter what cops tell you they always *** up
with some stupid excuse

 

ya i was told my leds were a felony in ca if driven with lights on.(under caraige lights or the like)
