Isn't it illegal to have coloured parker/number plate lights?

Ive always wanted to put a white neon tucked up under there, the light would be so crisp.

I'm sure white upgrade lights are legal, it's not legal when you change the colour ie: blue, red, pink etc

Some light colour info from Australian Design Standards (bloody hard to decipher, quoted from 4 different design rules) Hope this helps :D
I spent 1 hour finding this crap :lol:
Head Lights......
Halogen - Approval may be obtained for Halogen Sealed Beam units emitting either white or selective yellow light
LED - The colour of the light emitted measured after one minute shall be within the (HSB) required colour boundaries. A LED module shall be considered to have failed if any one of its LEDs has failed.
Side Marker (blinkers)......
The side-marker lamp must emit amber light; however it can emit red, if the rearmost side-marker lamp is grouped or combined or reciprocally incorporated with the rear position lamp, the rear end-outline marker lamp, the rear fog lamp, the stop lamp, or is grouped with or has part of the light emitting surface in common with the rear retro- reflector.
Stop Lights/Rear Parkers........
Stop lamps and rear position lamps shall emit red light
Front Parkers......
Front position lamps may emit white or selective-yellow light.
Reverse Lamps........
The colour of the light emitted shall be white.
Number Plate Lights.....
The light of the illuminating device shall be sufficiently colourless in order not to modify noticeably the colour of the registration plate.

I don't see why anyone would want to have their numberplate MORE visible :P
