Not digging the neons at all. I don't know about NZ, but over here it is illegal to put blue or red lights (excluding tail lights)anywhere on the exterior of a car because those two colors are reserved for emergency vehicles only. I was with my friend in his Honda who was ticketed for having red lights lighting up his license plate.
Gauge cluster lights -

In NZ the law states that as long s you cant see the source of the light it is sweet was pulled over for doing 132 in 100km/h zone at night and asked the cop and he sed that they were fine but it does draw attention so to be careful about the way i drive

What bulbs did you put in the gauge cluster? That turned out really well..
I got pulled over for blue neon undergrounds and now that i think about it. It didn't really fit the style of the car. but if you like it, then good work!

Yep, neon is not so hot. Seems more appropriate for 1998! Really, now days, less is more! Clean and simple are what most people think of as being attractive. Of course, it's your car, so your entitled to do whatever to it as you please.

very blurry, so really hard to say. But in my honest opinion......... the lights underneath are a bit on the ricey side. But maybe that's just a matter of taste, in which is an argument that would never cease.

I had red neons under my red Celi... I had them a month and despised them. I just can't get into the underglows. Your gauge lights turned out awesome! License plate light.. Blue is okay, but I've found that the look I really prefer is a super white LED. They set your car apart from all of the cars with regular yellow bulbs and maintain legality in the US. Of course, you're in New Zealand and you guys get a whole lot of cool stuff that we don't. (I.E., the GT4.)
