Provided they are not a "distraction to other drivers" when not turned on then they are not illegal.

Everyone has them in Malaysia and it's ugly >< even worse are the ones which cycle through different colours.

I think you mean wiper washers. And i'm pretty certain there not illegal unless there blue or red.

 

[seremify007]

You sure? I'd say they would be 'coz they are essentially some bright fluro colour... kindof like a mini neon light- except facing oncoming traffic.

 

[DaddyK]

I thought the light faced the windsheild...coz thats the way the washers face.

There blue, and chrome in colour.....i really only want them for the chrome colour look instead of those crappy black ones....but yeah there blue, can the cops bust ya for just having them installed on do they have to see them on before getting you

ps by the way i was going to hook them up to a switch...should i still do it, or just cut the wire

and if i cut the wire, the cops cant bust me can they?

If there blue, there illegal, can't use blue or red lights on exterior of your car on the basis that you might be trying to impersonate a cop car (it happens).

I must be thinking of something else then... either that, or the light is so bright that regardless of which way it's pointed, oncoming traffic can still see it as a distraction.

If they are blue you could be done for impersonating a police officer (easily doable with them) or distracting other drivers (the lesser of the two).

If red they are a distraction to other drivers as they breach an ADR. eg red lights must only be on the back of a car and white on the front. The exception being reversing lights which are only on when a cars back is in a way its front...

what i mean is, can i have these led jet washers on the car, but snip the wire, so they wont work??

 

[DaddyK]

Yeh. You can have em connected too, just don't use them.

 

[loquasagacious]

Why bother having them if you can't turn them on?

Just install a switch somewhere on your dash - this will make the whole installation process harder though.

 

[DaddyK]

because he wants them for the chrome look instead of the black washers on his bonnet.

 

[loquasagacious]

Is it possible to just get chrome ones then?

Is it possible to just get chrome ones then?

thats the ones ive got.....so having them installed cant get you a defect notice then?

 

[DaddyK]

i couldn't say for sure. Why bother anyway, its just 2 tiny little pieces of rubber that no 1 see's anyway.

 

[2006istheyear]

i agree not many people do see them, but i think they still make the car (well my shitty excel lol) look good anyways, anyone sure on if there legal to have on your car or not if there not connected?

 

[loquasagacious]

If the lights arent on then they're legal.

There is some doubt here - but if the lights are inoperable eg not hooked up then there definantly shouldnt be a problem.

I don't think it'll be that visible most of the time... unless you park your car a lot for people to admire?
