The only permissible colors visible from the front: White, amber.
The only permissible colors visible from the rear: Red, white, amber.
From the side: Red, white, amber.

So any color other than red, amber and white are illegal in all 48 states according to DOT. And no red visible from the front.

sorry bro you got involved in a forum where 95% of the people are ****ing dicks and flame you, instead of answering your question. i see there's only one normal reply. rock what you like, my evo puts out 390hp and i had green underglow. they can flame my car all they want cuz most people don't have anything like my car other than the ****** on this forum. it looked really good but, is a pain in the *** to keep from breaking bulbs from daily driving. rocks and all that ****, you end up needing a bulb every month or two so i ripped mine off and thats what i hear most people do. put it on and rip it off. good luck and **** all you flaming ******. ****ing so tired of it man. keep pushing everyone out of the scene instead of bringin people in. it's bull****

Thumbs down

Depends on your local laws. Where I live in PA all are illegal while the vehicle is underpower.(moving) You can do whatever the hell you want while the car is parked.

In other news NEONS are the biggest addition to any vehicle. Please reconsider spending your money on them.

i asked my friends dad, who is a cop, he says that red white and blue are illegal, because those colors are on cop cars. idk about aqua, but that doesnt matter in ur ase cause u dont want aqua. i say orange, paint ur calipers orange too if u do get orange, but if u get green please dont paint ur calipers green. IMO.

pretty sure you can't have neons on at all when the car is in motion... if its sitting still, you can have any color(s) you want turned on

If it's NOT on a public roadway. If it's parked on a public road, all bets are off.

thats what i've always read/heard.

also...if you do decide to go with this atrocious mod...please install the bulbs up under the car so you can't see them walking around it. nothing is more horrendous than seeing the bulb hanging down below the car...let alone underbodies at all. i do not condone of this mod however.

You can also go for led strips. I was looking at them a while back cuz they dont break and shatter all over the road which is more of the reason neons are illegal. **** isn't suppose to be falling off of ur ride while ur driving it. A lot of trucker sites have them, just do a google search and you should find a ton.

why not do what those vip tuner guys do? they have these spot light looking things under the car and they look awsome! you can also install them in your engine bay and in your suspension area so during nigh time car shows you can attract attention.

imho, i hate neons! but if you like it why not right?
