Haydog17 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Now I know Neons are illegal, but are L.E.D lights illegal? And if so can you caught easily with them? Edit: This is for the inside, and sorry for such a noobish question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydog17 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 exterior? interior? both? I'm assuming anything that is an obstruction of view to other drivers/yourself is illegal I'm just doing interior. If I do install LED lights, I would just put them in by the feet of the front drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inm Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Not sure where you are, but in my state (Virginia) ANY modification to your car is technically illegal. Exterior neons are illegal, and any light illuminating from your car (excluding radio, back seat tvs, and things like that) can get you pulled. Any interior lighting, any type of video playing in view of the driver, illegal. But, what you're asking... LED interior lighting is illegal HERE. Again, not sure where you are, you would want to contact your local authority.

Mrbubbles00482 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 You would just want to check with your authorities. It varies from state to state. In Arkansas underglow kits are fine but certain colors are illegal. And it sucks even worse when your town sits on two states..lol, half of our town sits on Arkansas, and the other half on Texas, so we have two too deal with =[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesmith0890 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 here in indiana as long as the lights arent flashing or strobing inside you're vehicle and so long as the tubes (whether LED or Neon) aren't visible you are okay. Underglow, only certain solid colors are allowed. AlphaDamp Sound Deadening CDL Mat - The best Vibration Damper Ever! I'd hit that so fucking hard whoever pulled me out would be King of England.

If you just chilling sitting still and have them on your fine, but not while moving. Not quite sure if that is what your saying but yeah lol, its not illegal to mod your car, just as long as there not on while moving.

HHR Ed Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I have worked with several states Highway Patrol and DMV authorities on projects for my lighting company. We produced illuminated signage for the sides of buses, backs of tractor trailors, and illuminated windows for show cars. Anything can be legal as long as it is used and installed properly. No one type of light form is outlawed. Manufactures are using LEDs more than anything these days. Neons are legal LEDs are legal LEC is legal. As long as a few guidelines are followed. Exterior 1. exterior lighting must not flash or strobe. 2. colors yellow, red, and blue are reserved for emergency vehicles only. 3. Any visible light source must be located a minimum of 10" away from factory marker lights and or reflectors. 4. The brightness of the lights must not exceed 120cd at the source. (This is about the brightness of your cell phone screen) Interior 1. The light emitted from any interior source must not emit more than 120cd brightness through the windows to the exterior of the car.
