Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Black lights

I have a white celica and i was wondering how black lights would look on the under bod of the car...i mean wouldn't the white rocks in asphalt glow uner the black light...Need your opinoin bad idea or good idea?????

well since you have a white car any color will look cool on your car, personally i'd get blue

blues what i planned but its illegal

do you think the black lights would show up tho?

im trying to go with a black and white color scheme...

green is legal but dont match chrome rims or white IMO

black lights will kick ass they look so so nice under a car

has anyone heard of someone even trying it?

i mean no one around here has black lights

my friend has them on his truck that is slammd looks soo nice!

All under body lights are illegal. Does not matter what color you get you will get busted for them.

you talking about neons under the car?

does not matter what lights are under the car, under body lights are illegal. Neons, black light, the lamp on your desk.

black lights (although cool to trip out with in a rave ) wouldn't have the range to be very visible on the open road. you are dealing with multiple spectrums of light when you're outdoors and they would interfere with proper black light (or "wood's light") representation. also, without phosphors (in teeth, nails, laundry detergent, etc) you won't be able to see the glow.

well does anyone have an alternative color i could go with and blue and red are illegal in NC (cop and ambulance colors)

I'm trying to tell you there is no color you can use that is legal. If you use under body neon you do so at your own risk. Do a google search for the DOT laws on under body neon you'll see what I mean.

i tried got an exact site?

i called the police department and asked for regulations and all they told me was blue and red is illegal...but they could be wrong...

I've been looking, have not found anything yet. Let you know when I do. SHA nor the MVA have anything on there sites.

The only thing I've found so far is that it is illegal to drive with them on, duh thats what we've talkin about. I'm still trying to find a offical document of something.

yea i like the idea i think im going to get some footwell black lights and just like ziptie them to the underbody and see if it works or not. No waste of money cause im using the footwells in my car no matter what...

Spencer,

The only thing I could find is that its illegal to drive with neons on, knew that. Like I was telling you, get what ever color you want just watch out driving with them on. You can't get a ticket for owning them, just for driving with them on. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Thanks dude you told me excatly what i needed to know

cheers

heres to your lights, you outlaw you

i like the bright green neons, but they look better under black cars than on white...dunno what i'd do for white, prolly would go with something purple (black light sorta the same) but then again, im a girl and i like girlie colors.

by the way does anyone have any neons on the inside portion of your roof and if so how did you hide the bulb or make it look professional done?

Black lights would look really cool since it lights up the white lane markers as you drive around at night.

i have a black car with the black and white scheme and i'm goin with black lights

Under body neons are oly illegal if you can see the actual neon tube. If you istall them good enough to where you can't see the actual tube unless your under the car itself, underbody neons are legal

Thanks Barret i called my local police and thats what they said...

black lights are going to be awesome now for the money

Celica2kGTS were are going to be too bad ass

Does anyone know how to hide interior neon lights in the roof or not make them look so obivious?

instea of black lights would you think white neon undarbody neons ould look better than taking a risk with the back lights?

I personally haven't seen any white neons or blacklights long enough to go under the body, in my personal opinion, I think you should go w/ red, red looks good w/ white. Plus it's easier to go go w/ a red color scheme on the inside (i.e. gauge cluster can be turned red along w/ backlight for A/C controls) but thats just my opinion. Good Luck

red is illegal

got a better idea?

Well as far a a uniform looking color scheme (inside and out) red and blue are probably the easiest to do. I got a Silver Celica and I'm goin w/ the blue scheme. As far as the red light being legal, I would make sure they are hooked to a cut-off switch so then if you do get pulled over (which I doubt you would) just tell the police officer that you couldn't find a current copy of the road ordinances and that the guy you bought the lights from and people online said it was legal. Then just turn them off. Most police in the day and age don't really care about that kind of stuff but they will watch you more closly so watch that speed.

I think that white neons would look awesome or some other color that will go with your color scheme...like red or blue.

definitely blue and red are illegal. they're to be used only by po-po's, ambulances and firetrucks. underbody lights are only illegal while used on the streets, ie drivin around like in fast and the furious. they're for show-purposes.

i forgot...white!
