Your spot on dude , there everywhere in the campbelltown area, esepcially before joining the M5 purple undercover cop cars parked and defect stations setup on sunday morning , saturday nights and friday evenings...

Your right there after our money...ive been to court earlier this year to get my 3points and $231 fine back for a stupid EPA defect... which court accepted =) so i put $231 towards to Victorian bush fires

as a good cause.

Blue lights on the outside of the vehicle where they can be seen are illegal in all states (Even if they have an off switch).
Blue light is reserved for emergency services exclusively.

im not sure on that .... we're not allowed red.. i have blue parkers, my bf has blue parkers, he had a cop pull him over, ask him to switch on his headlights n let him go....

from what i understand with neons, u cant have red, u cant have them showing but if they're properly installed n just colour is seen under the car its fine...

Whether a cop fines you for it doesn't change the law. I know for a fact that they are illegal in QLD and am almost positive that it's the same in all states.

You are allowed red lights (but not visible from the front), white lights (but not visible from the rear), and orange/yellow lights (only to be used to define the extremities of the side of a vehicle). Blue is not allowed (reserved for emergency services).
All other colours are legal (pink, green etc).

Found one of the many articles on Boost Cruising regarding Queensland's Laws. I can't garauntee the legalities in other states, but I doubt they would differ greatly from what is listed here:

Underbody lighting is permitted, provided the lights are fitted in
accordance with the conditions listed in this information sheet

AIS INFORMATION SHEET No. 21

Alternative lights

Additional lights fitted to motor vehicles and, in particular, alternative lighting on dressed up vehicles with underbody lighting, such as neon lights and ultra violet lights, are acceptable, subject to certain conditions.

(TO(RUM-VSS)) allows lights not mentioned in the standards to be fitted in addition to the required lights, whereas the former Traffic Regulation 1962 required specific approval, which was not often granted. Lights that flash or are white, red, yellow or blue are mentioned in the standards. However,
pink lights, for example are not mentioned and could, theoretically, be
fitted.

The use of blue lights are reserved for police vehicles in Queensland but ambulances and fire engines in other states may use blue lights.

As such, additional underbody lighting such as neon lights and ultra violet lights are acceptable provided the light omitted is not blue, yellow, red or white. Of the last two, red lights must not be seen from the front and white must not be seen from the rear. Other colours are acceptable as long as they do not flash or dazzle another driver.

Other additional lighting requirements are covered by the regulations and which is summarised in the brochure "All About Modifications to Motor Vehicles". This brochure may be sighted on the Queensland Transport website at http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/driv ... ehiclemods

Additional mandatory lights, e.g. an extra pair of direction indicator lights, are also permitted. The Australian Design Rules set mandatory position, width and height limits for a primary set of lights fitted to a vehicle. In the case of light and heavy omnibuses (MD and ME categories), all commercial vehicles (N category) and medium and heavy trailers (TD and TC categories), additional direction indicator, hazard warning, stop, parking and rear position lights may be fitted to satisfy specific operational requirements.

These operational requirements could include the need to better project manoeuvring intentions in congested traffic such as for buses frequently stopping to pick up and set down passengers, the need to have additional lights to retain signalling capability in case of primary light breakages, and where operating environment results in low mounted lights becoming covered in dirt or dust.

The maximum height limits for particular lights, which includes stop lights, fitted to the above categories of vehicles do not apply when provided as additional lights.

I was reading that forum, people get done for pink and green too, so im not TOO sure if its legal to have parkers other then white or standard.

Just called Vic Roads-- again this is for the Vic state...

neons are not permitted unless the car is parked and engine is off... red n blue N/A
coloured parkers are only legal if the car was initially installed with those colours and given the roadworthy... 'depending how nasty the officer is'

so, Eltnot- bit from colomn A n bit from column B
