I have Neo - BLue Gold Series on my 2k2 LX...they are tight.. There is no drilling...just self tapping screws that hold up the light with the bracket.....then if you ever take them off...use some balck sealant and put it in the holes left by the screws...

Would it be legal if the underbody lights were off when driving, but turned them on when hanging out in a parking lot or something (not moving)? It seems to me it would be OK if they wern't on while driving on public streets.

I've heard two different stories about lights.

1. They're illegal, simple as that because you can't have any illegal colored lights on your car.

2. If you have them on while the car is not moving... it's legal.
If you move the car, that's your ticket.


I'm getting underbody neons too, and I'd just use them wisely. Like in a parking lot.

Well put SoNiCcIvIc. If your in motion that is a ticket. As long as your parked it is fine. Also red and blue lights are illegal because they are symbols of police lights. I have Led washers on my car but they are white. No problems there according to my uncle and friends fathers who work for L.A.P.D. and Highway Patrol.

i think if you get pulled over and play dumb you could get away with it, i got pulled over for having red lights instead of amber on my cleared headligths, and i just told the cop i didn't know it was illegal and he let me go ( i had to take them out though)...
