CupCake:

Your question regarding the legality of outside neons in Tennessee was answered in post #19:

Yes and no

No Blue lights period.

You can have other colors but NOT hooked to a toggle switch. Example: Toggle switch on the dash that only controls the aux lights.

I do know Gatlinburg has a city ordinance against auxillary lighting. Especially under car type. Im sure its a hefty fine, as all of them are up there. So NO lights there period.

Pigeon Forge I dont know. But Id say they have a simular City code.

Any light anywhere can fall under "glaring light," ticket. Those license plate neons will get you stopped everytime.

All these violations fall under Tennessee Light Law, subsection whatever.

Don't take the negative comments here too 'personally'. It's more about neon lighting on Mustangs than about you.

The discussion over the pros and cons (mostly cons) of exterior neon lighting on any car, especially a Mustang, was to be expected. This is an opinion board - for the most part - and exterior neon lighting strikes many Mustangers as borderline-gay. It's simply a point of view, albeit a popular one, I suspect.

Besides, you stated that you are now receiving legal advice on the neons from the local police you are acquainted with and that is even better than advice from anonymous strangers on the internet, well-meaning as they may be.

At this point, I think you can basically ignore this thread if you wish.

If you want to avoid the law, keep them off unless you are in a parking lot or on private property somewhere. Most lights like neons are generally illegal. I am not from Tennesee, nor am I arguing with the cop that told you the "20 inches" theory, but I know I wouldn't want a cop meausirng 20 inches from my car either...then realize my exhuast was loud.....what ever else he might find while he was lookin around.

enjoy your show,
