    Default Lights in front grill

    Okay, I want some lights out front in my grill...
    I like being different.. What should I get..
    Ive had something like http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/bobo123/Y125.jpg in pretty much same place as image.. They were okay.. but I got bored of them.. but I want something Legal.. that will light up my grill area of my VR commodore..

    Any suggestions? Also.. I dont feel like getting the VR SS fog lights.. Id drive with them on most of the time (Hey its a nice sunny day -drives with them- ).. and surely enough Id get pulled over :P

    Nawh, Since I got in trouble like the first night of having a green neon.. Id prefer sticking to a white LED/lights, the R8 led lights..as in the LED strips?
    Ive thought about them.. But wasn't sure where to put them??

    I think u might have a bit of a problem when a cop see's you. Nothing red can be on the front of your car . That is reserved for the rear so at night people can tell weather your coming or going . You will have a MASSIVE fine if caught . Stick to white or blue only

    Yeah ill prob order some LED strips from eBay then :P
    When I got pulled over about a green neon.. I asked what colours I could have... Cop said.. White + Orange facing forwards..
    My mum has blue Leds in her bottom grill.. Quite noticeable even at daytime.. Had coppers stare at the car in the city and didnt take any action.. -Pure luck? Dunno.
    Im fairly sure most colours are Illegal in SA.

    Blue is fine. Many trucks have them facing forward. There is a website that tells you the colours and minimum distance off the ground they have to be but I can't seem to find it . :/

    A cop here in QLD said that blue exterior lights are illegal. He said that even the Queensland Ambulance Service must apply each year to have thier blue lights!
    'Ah well, I suppose it had to come to this.'

    Forward facing - White or amber
    Rear facing - Red

    This is an ADR so it doesnt matter what state you live in. No other colour is legal.

    Cheers
