Hi all,

I am sure everyone noticed that there are A LOT MORE cars with DIY LED clusters on their cars now. Some just white LED, some multi colour etc..

Are these road legal?

Some really went all the way and 'chng' till the car machiam like Chingay Procession Car, with the front grille, under carriage, door handles, rear number plates, boot lid etc all lined with LEDs. Doesn't the roving TP has anything to say about these cars?

It was like previously when people like to put 2 lights on the window washer fluid dispenser. That is fully stated on LTA website that it is not allowed as it causes 'confusion' to other vehicles. So these LEDs now.. lagi worse right?

(I must say some of the cars are done up really horribly.. the white LED are not evenly lit, the alignment is crooked etc...what are they thinking huh... crazy.gif )

hmm... sometime i really wonder why ppl will do that and get unwanted attention from TP. Spend money and time to do up the car, and EVERYDAY drive around risking fine and all..

 

Those outside the light housing aside.. how about those that are installed WITHIN the light housing like the Audi's?

It is really interesting to see the difference between tasteful and outright grotesque modification. [gossip]

So far have never been stopped even in the presence of TP on the roads. I believe the TP have "a certain agenda".

 

But im not those who chiong late into the nite.. Well perhaps they do "check" during road blocks on those nites... im not sure though. [;)]

"Fitting decorative lamps to vehicles are not allowed as they may cause confusion and distraction to other road users.

Wiper washer LEDs, undercarriage neon lights, vehicle interior neon lights, flashing decorative lights, etc.)"
