legal question...........

[lukieboy]

hey guys need to ask if it is legal to use a white neon as a rear number plate light just a small one nothing too bright
Failing that does anyone have a spar vn calis rear bumber lol

 

[Turd Ferguson]

you could proly get away with it as long as it doesnt spread the light around too much

 

[hakhawk]

assuming you cant see the neon itself, only the radiating light, should be fine

From what I understand you can't have a white light pointing directly backwards unless they are reversing lights with reverse gear engaged. On normal reversing lights you can't see the light directly, just the reflected light off the plate.

But, to be safe.. Ring the Police, imo. It's not worth taking the risk

Ring the police?

lol are you serious?

Ring someone who knows the rules, ie. your states department of transport.

you'll get the bored cops that will pull you up because they can, then leave you sit there for 15 - 20 minutes while they try find an excuse to give you a fine over something silly. not worth the hassle imo

Although neons are somewhat illegal, blue and red are a no no.

I can't see any problem with a white light, especially since it's lighting up your numberplate.

But yeah, ring transport if your worried.

Ring the police?

operator: "000 what's your emergency?"
lukieboy: "can i fit a white neon to my numberplate?"
operator: "..."
