AnthonyF6Tornado Member 76 Member For: 19y 7m 21d Posted 08/09/05 05:13 AM Share Posted 08/09/05 05:13 AM Was just wondering if it is legal to have yellow warning lights (not indicators) on your car I.e strobes for example (just curious because often with my job I am parked on busy roads and most of the time its dark.) I relise that you cant have blue becasue then you can get into trouble for looking like an emergency vehicle. any opions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In vvic the cops are pretty tough on flashing light and stuff on vechiles but im sure if you got a permit or something there would not be any issues.

That's what they're for ... You can only have a flashing orange/yellow light if you have a special provisions permit (ie to do with you job).

Worth keeping in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth keeping in mind.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Already thought about that, I am going to use small yellow strob bulbs. Front set will go in the foglamps (and yes I will still have the foglamps for normal use) and the rear set will be put next to the the reversing lights bulbs. So when they are off you wont even be able to tell that they are there.I am in QLD.

(if the laws are differnet)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Fitting lights in that maner is different, and more comes under the same guidelines that determine if neons/blue wiperjets/green parklights etc are legal. Very different between states. Call your local RTA or TMU (HWP? - If you just speak to a general duties policeman, he probably won't know, and probably wouldn't care either). There are certain guidelines to the number of sets of accessory lights you may have and what colours they must be. Also, where they are on the car changes things (I.e. above or below the head lights, front or rear of vehicle etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
