LED accent lights

[makka]

i am looking into fitting some LED accent lighting to my ride, stuff like under tank lighting. does anyone know what the law is pertaining to lighting. seen it done in heaps of mags and reckon it could look awesome if not done to the extreme. would look pretty wild doing 200 plus at 3 in the morn.... what the fuk was that ...! 2wheeled L.F.O.

They're pretty much entirely illegal. The law used to be that it was illegal to have them on when the vehicle was in motion, but I and people I know have been done while parked in car parks etc.

a few years ago i got done 4 havin washer lights on my car, i looked up all the rules etc on the rta website. there is no specific law against havin extra lights on your car/bike except for :RED lights must not be fitted visible from the front of the vehicle, and they cant flash. However, cops r cunts n they will fine/defect u 4 it anyway. They will prob just write it up as a 'distraction to other road users' like they did to me. If its written up as 'illegal lights' or something like that, u can fight it in court, but prob not worth the hassle......

There's nothing in the RTA guidelines on the website:

And nothing in the motorcycle modification guidelines either:

A cop on a bad day though, can get you for anything he wants..

The little known "anti-yanking" laws were introduced alongside the less than popular "anti-hooning" laws. The latter saw a lot more media coverage due to the threat to public safety as opposed to the formers ability to merely threaten public decency...

for a good reason. . . . . .

[JackTar]

Don't know what the law is but I know what it fucking well should be. I feel dirty just reading this thread.

[makka]

it may not be to everyones liking but anything that makes me more visible to the tin tops riding home after work in the dark cant be all bad.

[Tarzan]

what the ones with the fancy red and blue lights on the roof?

[Tarzan]

anyhow the trick with dodging turtles is to be past them before they can aim at ya

Surely they have a skit for fully sick neon / led light people too

Don't listen to 'em, Makka. Your bike. You do what you want with it. :D

[Docktor]

course he can,... down the back with 2smokers

Well I'd just sit there and take whatever fine they'd give me, then take the fine straight to the Department of Transport. Hopefully you get a lady, then sweet talk the poops out of her and if there's black and white to back it up, she'll make the fine disappear.

My brother used my name to get himself out of a fine while I was overseas (the c*nt). I got screwed to a pole for it when I came back and chatted up DOP lady and in about 2seconds it was sorted. From my recollection, I don't even think I brought my passport to prove it. But I'm sure they're just glad to talk to someone who isn't an asshole, which I'm sure they get a hundred times a day...

Make more noise.

At least if they hear you there's a fighting chance of survival.

[grindella]

there are no rules in NSW against it. Just as long as white light points forward, red backwards and amber on the sides (clearence lights).

Each to there own i say... but only cos i was gay enough to fit 28 individual LEDS to my old gixer.. set up trigger in clip ons, to trip on and off whilst in motion plus they were on a remote when i was off bike.. I Know feel free to give me some stick.. Got pulled over once and warned, then whilst parked got warned again both cops were pretty cool bout it, commented on them but just said, turn em off.
