Law states that the postition lights, number plate lights and reverse lights must be white.

You can use white LEDs

Apply a simple rule: Is it stock (looking)? If the answer is "no", then it is not legal. Although some would argue that it is legal until you get caught!

I know you cannot use colors like red or blue, reason being they are reserved color lighting for emergency vehicles.

They are defectable.

pure white lights look the best anyways

I have white LEDs there and I was asked at a booze bus if they were fog lights. I said they were parkers and obviously came on with the headlights and he let me go. What an idiot :P

from my understanding having worked for the rta white is acceptable fron the front of the car orange is acceptable from the sides of the car and red is allowed from the rear. no other colours

these are colours you are allowed to add to the car

It's legal until you get caught. period

Just for the sake of mentioning..

My friend got fined for having blue parkers (exact same colour as shown). Apparently the reason was because people can get confused with emergency vehicles, etc...

He got fined $100+ if I remember correctly.

I don't understand how people find this so difficult to comprehend.

ALL FORWARD FACING LIGHTS MUST BE WHITE IN COLOUR, EXCEPT FOR INDICATORS, WHICH MUST BE ORANGE/AMBER, AND FOG LIGHTS, WHICH CAN BE YELLOW, but must only be used when there is lowered visibility. They are called fog lights for a reason.

At the rear, TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHTS MUST BE RED, INDICATORS ORANGE/AMBER AND REVERSE AND NUMBER PLATE LIGHTS WHITE.

These are the only colours, no questions about it.

But, you may say, what about trucks with orange lights all over them? Well this is legal, because they are clearance lights. Trucks are bigger than cars, so these lights are used to assist drivers at night, in seeing where the edges of trucks/trailers are.

Also - for those people who use headlights with a blue tinge to them the way that the police test this, is they put a white sheet of paper in front of the headlights and if the paper isn't white or normal halogen colour, then you're done. This goes for those NARVA / Phillips etc headlights that you can buy from auto stores, they're not meant for road use.

But in all seriousness - you'd have to be pretty unlucky to have some subtle whitish blue (8000k) lights pulled up by the police. It's mainly when people start throwing in Blue/Red/Green LED's or T10 bulbs that you start getting unwanted attention.

4300k color temp is the limit for halogen bulbs i believe.

Don't know about original equipment HIDs.

The narva are legal if they are ADR approved, whether the cops think they are ADR approved is another matter.

[DuffyFD]

Anything over 6K isn't meant to be allowed from what i've heard/read.
