Having them my self and seeing them on some cars, it seems that they do but

some cases I feel that owners go over the top with their use.

What do you think?

In NSW i think they are illegal as i think the official wording is "they will be distracting to other drivers" can someone in NSW confirm ?????

Not sure about the law, but the "BLUE" light will definately attract the coppers. As we stated before, the blue is representing the emergency vehicle.

So, they will definately pull you over with such a big and bright blue light. A friend of mine got a Neon Honda badge "H"......on his boot. The copper followed his car for 5 mins, then pull him over :(

The only reason i mention it was by brother had halogens and he had them on once and the copper told him they were a distraction to other drivers .... luckily he let him off with a warning......

It is illegal in NSW, but im thinking if interior neons are ok?? are they?? i got blue ones :D

I got blue and green interior neon. Yeah, I think they are illegal in NSW. The boys in blue would say they are sort of distracting the driver.

So, I switched mine off everytime I stop and do a random breathe test. <_<

as far as i know.. they can be on your car (if you really feel the need....) but can not be turned on while the car is in motion.

ohh and red and blue lights arent allowed because they are reserved for emergency vehicles...

orange lights are for indicators only...

white have to be at the front, no at the back (no red at the front)...

in qld purple is not allowed because it is the Qld Transport vehicle colours...

i think green is for the cane trucks...

thats all i can think of at the moment

hi guys.. yeah i know, the grey lines in the law. well i have something for you guys. I have a million colour LED underbody kit installed in my black sportivo and it look sweet as. HOwever im a bit scared to show it off too becoz of cops etc. i have a 3 way switch for it and it's wired to my ignition light. (wen i open the door, my LEDs are on.) that sorta deal. looks really sweet. but yeah.. i contacted someone from brisbane transport.. below is the email :

In response to your enquiry regarding neon lights, below are the current

guidelines.

AIS INFORMATION SHEET No. 21

Alternative lights

Additional lights fitted to motor vehicles and, in particular, alternative

lighting on dressed up vehicles with underbody lighting, such as neon

lights and ultra violet lights, are acceptable, subject to certain

conditions.

(TO(RUM-VSS)) allows lights not mentioned in the standards to be fitted in

addition to the required lights, whereas the former Traffic Regulation 1962

required specific approval, which was not often granted. Lights that flash

or are white, red, yellow or blue are mentioned in the standards. However,

pink lights, for example are not mentioned and could, theoretically, be

fitted.

The use of blue lights are reserved for police vehicles in Queensland but

ambulances and fire engines in other states may use blue lights.

As such, additional underbody lighting such as neon lights and ultra violet

lights are acceptable provided the light omitted is not blue, yellow, red

or white. Of the last two, red lights must not be seen from the front and

white must not be seen from the rear. Other colours are acceptable as long

as they do not flash or dazzle another driver.

Other additional lighting requirements are covered by the regulations and

which is summarised in the brochure "All About Modifications to Motor

Vehicles". This brochure may be sighted on the Queensland Transport website

at www.transport.qld.gov.au

Fw: Vehicle modification query

It doesn mention anything about green though. but yeah. sorta funny how it goes you can technically have pink lights. weird huh?

But yeah, i asked another dude from Northfield, coz they fit NEONS etc, and he goes.. apparently to make them legal, you have to purchase this modification plaque or plate or something to place on your car which costs $200. so yeah... if you want legal neons or watever, i guess $200 extra does the trick? dont quote me though. But yeah, i'ts quite stupid really. UK can pretty much roam free with them.. apart from the emergency vehicles colours too.

BTW, i think interior neons are fine, i have blue as well :) but i try to keep it low to the ground so you can't see them from out side (unless you look in of course). Always have a switch though just incase :)

Hope this helps :)

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
