None of that is too hard to do. If you can wire up neons or driving lights etc. Then you'd have the skills to add in a relay or time delay relay and a trigger wire.

There are *heaps* of ways to be unique with our cars on the inside and on the outside, even after so many years and so many aftermarket accessories (which are now so proliferated, they're nearly common place with our cars) there are heaps of new options available that require just an amount work to do. You seem like a type of person who's happy to install stuff, and handy with tools so you'd be ideal to modify or build your own gear. Its also a great headspace to live in.

Might need to modify some body bits to accommodate them, so learn to do that too. Heaps of info online. In the past 3 years what i've learnt from google/youtube.

Some ideas i'm pulling out my arse right now:
Hook the neons up to the central locking/alarm indicator output of your car, with rectifiers between the normal indicator globes and the neons, so they only turn on (flash) momentarily when you're locking/unlocking. The car isn't moving, and it's unlikely you're in the car at that point.

Relay them into the horn so they turn on when you toot.

Hook them up to the door switches, alarm and ignition off, so they turn on when you've stopped the car, AND open the doors, they turn on for 20 seconds or so, then off when you activate the alarm. (look up switching electronics on google/howto on youtube)
That would be research for you.

this is just three thought up in three minutes writing this..

If you look into my interior pictures and you will know my interior blue neon only comes on when the door is opened. With the alarm idea this sounds good but I don't have alarm system.

Dear (Me),

Thank you for your enquiry.

As advised since there are not restrictions to the colour of underbody lighting so the colour blue should be fine. The lights that you place under the body of the vehicle should not be seen it is only the rays of the light that should be seen.

If you require further information please do not hesitate to reply to this email. Alternatively, you can visit our website, http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing or call our Customer Contact Centre on 13 11 56 or +61 8 9427 6404 if you are calling from outside Australia .

Kind regards,

Sharon

This is the reply that I was waiting from yesterday as we discussed that we should ask again and clarify the meaning of "no restriction of colour" and the word "visible". Now I believed that we have a clear answer.

When you re-install your neons I think that it woud be prudent to keep a copy of the above response (complete) in the glovebox.

I am not going to re-install them, takes time and I had my fun already, time to stay luxury.
But anyone in WA who is interested in putting neon on their car are welcome to ask me to do it for them. I just love the one that I placed in the grill so much.

That would be the one that was illegal!
Well done.

Check my garage page, once again, you only be able to see the ray, not the light itself.

Tesco,
Make an image Greg.of the front of your car by standing 15 metres in front of it (in the dark). I look forward to the results.

I have a better idea, you could simply fly to here and check it out yourself, I don't have another camera but my iphone.

You will never see the light/lamp itself, and no matter how far you stand, you will never see it. The only way that you could see it is to put your head into the grill and look up, there a gap between the grill and the front bumper. Which is the place I hided the light, totally invisible.

Tesco,
Might I be correct in thinking that it is your belief that the light from your neons can project forward as long as the hardware cannot be seen?
Greg.
P.S. You would not want me to fly in, I am yet to forgive you for the 'old' comment and I can be a little cranky at times. :wink:
