What exactly are the laws in Calgary with having neon underglow on your car...

I want to put blue lights under my integra, but dont exactly want tickets every month. What are the rules?

It is illegal to have neon underglow on your car under the "Its a beat ricer mod" Act and is punishable by way of public caning

its illegal to have them on when you are moving, but if you turn them on when you are parked then its fine

yeah. you can have them on while parked, but not while moving on any road surface as it can provide a distraction for other drivers on the road.

No true about illegal only while driving with underglows, I was at a parking lot and was showing some friends then all of a sudden three f**k cops pulled up searched my car and give a ticket for the lights.

my friend was told to remove his blue under body neons, door lock blue LEDs, side tint on both passanger and driver side. his blue daytime running lights, and has to relpace his tinted tail lights before his VI.
just about every cool looking after market thing you add to your car is illegal. i hate it!!
the states is way better for supin up rides.

It's true, i was at shell just comming out of the car wash, parked the car and flipped the glow on for no more then a minute to make sure the underglow was still fine and didn;t crack while in the wash... Cops rolled up and gave me a $250 "stunting" ticket.... But they were also being dicks so they were probally just looking to screw someone over...

I heard that only red, yellow, and white are legal, cause those are the only colours you have allowed to have for lights, Think about your tails, red for break, yellow for signal, white for backup. As far as I know blue, green etc are illegal cause you are not allowed to display those colours anywhere. Get what I am saying, but what do I know...

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the law that you could have underglow on when you are stopped at a light, but when you are moving it is illegal?

or has that changed now?

and I thought all underglow colors were illegal, but if anyone could actually get to the bottom of this and find out what colors are illegal/aren't, that would be awesome

If CPS spent more time busting drunk drivers and street racers instead of ticketing people based on neon lights, this city would have much less traffic fatalities. my 2 cents.
