I'm thinking maybe I should just avoid all these neon/LED modifications... the risk (of getting a defect; or even a fine) doesn't seem to be worth it.

heh, my mate changed two lanes and turned a red light all at once. the thing was, he pulled into an undercover's lane, almost hitting the undercover. the cop followed him while he took another red light and after about 2 minutes he pulled him over. the result? a warning.7th Sign said:

I was followed by a squad car (not highway patrol) for 2km or so, I was doing up to 120 in a 60, holding 80 (and hanging sideways) through roundabouts and then as the icing on the cake I squeeled off the line at the lights and had the tail out turning right directly infgront of the squad car.
They turned on their lights, I shat myself. I realised it was double demerits, I shat myself harder.
Got off with a neg driving caution....

I was just gonna get simple LEDs underneath the car (I heard they are more durable than Neons)... but then if there's all these problems involved with getting them installed and not getting caught; I'm inclined to think the money could probably be better spent elsewhere on legit stuff (eg. ICE, or a nice Satnav system, etc..)EATAPIE said:

Or some strut braces or sway bars

Well first of all you use LED Strips, they are more durable and last longer. They are also usually flat and easier to hide with their double sided adhesive tape.
Second of all, You need to make up your mind about this red and while buisness, red is allowed any where on the back, white is allowed anywhere on the front, however the white cannot be too bright.
Thirdly, Blue and red are not legal, moving or not.
I ride a black Hyosung Gt250r with a black wind shield, bar ends foot begs, rims and engine with 2 green LED strips on the underbelly (like the cars in the fast and the furious 1, the all black ones with the green under glow) and i just say its for safty as cars can't see me in all black leathers on a black bike, and then its up to them, if they are in a good mood they will let you off, i have gone through a RBT station with them on and they didn't care. Also angel eyes and such are only legal if they are not red. Green or purple generally look the best.

Major bumpage.
And I ended up fitting LEDs to one of my cars. Not going to post up details but as long as I never turn them on the road or near a road, I should be fine. AFAIK, having them fitted in very subtle places (e.g. intercooler) and only using them at street meets or parking lots should be fine. Technically not legit but I don't imagine having any issues.
On another note, I figured you can get done for using foggies hence used the foggy wiring saving me the trouble of a new switch.

You would only get "done" for using your foggies if it isnt foggy and have them on.

True... but it is very rare that it is genuinely foggy (at least where I live). Besides, its not my daily driver.

True, but I didn't want to go drilling random holes or trying to find a way to wire things in a brand new car (hasn't even had first service). Using the wiring off the foggies made it alot easier and I get to keep my interior nice and fresh.
... on my other car, having people pull apart dash pieces here and there to wire up RSM, audio system, etc... eventually led to an interior which was not as creak-free or as flush as a relatively new car (bought it new back in 06) should have.
