Default StreetGlows...

Does anyone know if undercar neons are legal in LA? I live in Rancho Palos Verdes (around Torrance) and I'm not sure if the cops around here are OK with it. Help will be appreciated.

uhhh negative. I know red and blue are specificly no good. some say white and green are ok. but the law is really general in spots where they can ticket you for most anything they want and write it up under some general law, ussually something like, modifying stock lighting, or the like.

youll attract alot of attention, and even if they dont write you up for the lights, theyll be sure to target you if you sneeze in the wrong direction.

just say no to underbody neons, leave it to the civics in F&F.

As far as I know, those underglow lights are not illegal to have but it is illegal to drive down public roads with them on. Unless your car is going to be a show car or a ricer, I would recommend leaving them off. Talk to any Civic or J-Body person who has them and they will tell you they get broken or lost often.

be careful about wording. they have LED strips now too. no less tacky, though that can actually do some pretty cool tricks.

yea no way man... why rice out such a great car? the Z attracts enough attention on its own. If you want to goe classy with some outside lights get Led reflectors for the front of the car and or EVOR led side markers
