Default Are neons illegal?

hi!
Before I make a complete cock up of myself and argue my point after being pulled over for having my neon’s on, is it illegal or not? I’ve been advised that as long as you can not see the tubes from under the body kit, its fine. I’ve also been told that every colour except blue is ok, as this is used for emergency vehicles. PLEASE help!

They should be! Although I'm not sure on the actual legislation.

Just wire them up to a different circuit that you can switch off when you get pulled over. Most cops will just ask you 2 switch them off

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it's illegal to have the light-source showing.
