DIY under bonnet neon light.

i mean those at the pedals there one.

den if gotta go for inspection need to take out ah?

or can juz left it there?

Actually all those lights, as long as you don't drive and "on" them, TP shouldn't bother you.

[Devvic_]

but i think mine was not installed with a switch.

guess will have to go back and ask them to install switch for me

mine is tapped on the headlights. so is lighted up all the way

[Wbucket]

I think they do have some issue with light in the cabin when driving. Better be safe on this.

[DarkLord]

Shouldn't be a problem. The most, install a switch to disable the lights.

i am thinking of hooking up neon light in my engine bay such that it will light up when i pop my bonnet. may be handy when i need to look at engine bay in the night time

[Wbucket]

Nice. But do ensure additional water proofing is done. My friend got 3 out of 4 blown by rain. 2 at the front of the engine bay, 1 at the back.

[Ecaf]

the neon lights themselves are not weather-proof?

Actually, premium conti cars like Merc do have "ambient" light at footwells and also cabin when driving, but they're very subtle and dimmed. Safety studies have shown them to be effective, and is a bit like the soft ambient lighting of posh hotel washrooms.

 

IMO, if we keep the light subtle (e.g. dim LED) when driving, and only use bright flourescent when stationary using switch or connected to auto on cabin lights when the doors are opened, it should not be an issue.

u cannot turn it on while driving. illegal.

then when car stationery in the carpark, can on everything?

[Chemz]

yah.. can on.. yishun dam always got plenty of cars there also leave their lights on. tp patrol car go by also nvr do anything

[Tolakuz]

The interior light is nice,,, exterior seemed too beng...... used to see one one the road with blue neon light but it does not look very impressive,,, maybe the light is very dim.....

[Ahbengdriver]

Be careful ah. Upp Thomson lood that night saw one car kena cot by TP arh, cant see clearly is it jazz or getz. The rear number plate had blue lights blinking ard the perimeter, even when the car was stopped the light still blink.

[Chemz]

hmm probably the driver forgot to switch it off whilst on the road i suppose..

 

i've always assumed that so long the vehicle is on the move, no blink blink fanciful lighting systems should be operating other than stock headlights/tail-lights/no. plate lights etc.

[Lau_mathew]

Is it possible to hook it to the cabin light?

so that when u open the dorr, it will light up and shut off when the doors are closed?

[Chemz]

yep.. the installer shld be able to do it for u..

 

u can always request for an additional overwrite switch to permanently off even when doors are open in case of TP roadblock/pullover

 

and a permanently on switch even when doors are closed to illuminate cabin 24/7

[Lau_mathew]

that should be cool.

 

thanks alot man.
