Laws For Neons, What are they? Options

[Mousetrashdiver]

Me and my friend couldnt agree on this. I was under then impression that you couldnt have underbody lights on you car while you car is driving, He said it was ok aslong as you couldnt see the bulb. So please tell me. Where i can put them, when they can be on ect.

Yeah that sucks, i emailed Texas DMV i will post the response i get it



JUST GOT IT (this is TEXAS)


The common practice to circumvent these laws is to install the lighting
under the vehicle, out of direct view, so that the light is cast downward
illuminating the ground. State law is silent on this issue (in this case
silence is not golden) and the federal regulations do not prohibited it,
except for taking the place or interfering with any required lamp,
especially the license plate lamp.

This is a technical loophole. As with all technical or legal loopholes, it
is not understood by everyone to include some law enforcement personnel. All
questions of law are finally resolved in court.

To put it simply, while you may be able to drive the vehicle with the accent
lights illuminated and not receive a citation, there may come a time when
you are cited and the judge agrees with the officer. Your only recourse will
be to appeal the decision until you reach a court that recognizes the
loophole and you may still lose.
