hey there
i dont know what most of you think of neons, but i think they can look nice.
throwing that statement out the window, im putting some on my rolla

but im having trouble finding a spot for the front and rear ones.
if anyone is feeling helpful, and lives near mt albert, could someone give me a hand? id be very grateful

Have you got big spinners on it aswell? Don't forget the NEONS behind them.

oH and aparently NEONS are not kool anymore...the new RICEBOY thing is lots of bright LEDs instead...

by **Vertigo** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 4:48 pm

nope, its an 84 DX

and yea, thats why im putting them on (or upgrading the rangi ones i have now at least)

by **Ae92typeX** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 5:06 pm

cant say Im a neon or led man, but...
why dont you mount them on the inside of the front and rear bumpers?

You count mount them on the ground just in front of your wheels, then take it for a test drive??

Geez guys. Friendly lot of barstards aren't ya.

All the dude is after is a bit of help of where to fit his neons.

I dont think he cares too much if you think they're not cool, its his car and he likes neons so let him have his fun rather than giving him shit :roll:

well for a start front and rear are illegal

if you are having neons on your car, just like with any other non factory lights, make sure they are legal.

give this a read.....under cosmetic lighting...

If mounted on the inside of the bumpers like I suggested, essentially glowing back into and under the car (not outwards) you would probably get away with it though- I have a mate with them on his truck mounted that way, no prob's legally in the last year.

yes thats true, as long as they dont shine off the road.

thanks EVLGTZ
nice car btw, love the bonnet scoop

still after someone to lend a guiding hand...

i was thinking of putting them somewhere inside the bumpers actually... if i cut into them slightly so i can pull part of them outwards to make room, would that cause me to fail a warrent?

What type of corrola is it? if its one with hidious plastic bumpers you can remove the front bumper, cover the gap with black mesh and put the neon behind the front valiance. My mate has undercar neons on his GL wagon with one like iv described. He has a letter from the LTSA saying you are allowed cosmetic lights as long as the bulb is not visable while driving so if he is hastled by the cops he has the letter as proof.
Personally I only like my neons inside the car but good on you for having your own opinions.
Sorry if iv offended any of you plastic bumper fans

okay so reading that ltsa site. u can have neons of any color and around all sides of the car AS LONG AS you cant see the actual neon tube ?

Nothing to see here people, move along. · by DJ » Thu Sep 08, 2005 1:22 am

its a AE80 DX, and why yes, just happens to have them. however, i have since just jammed them up inside the bumper (front one so far), and looks/works fine!
