neons are illegal unless you have white at the front, amber at the sides and red at the rear as these are the only colurs you can display at these sides of the car. (I think)

You can't show red to the front of a vehicle or white to the rear. Other colours are not specifically prohibited under Constructions and Use Act but I'm sure there something in Road Traffic Act you could be done on.
Plus when they have drawn the attention to your car and you get stopped, the plate will get you fined.

Oh thought i should add they cant give you points for them, as illegal lighting is a non-endorsable offense
