Hello again,

Found this on eBay about a year before getting my i30 and i knew I had to do it!

Interior trims with EL wire - YouTube

But would doing this be legal in Australia? Would I be allowed to drive around with these on? And would it do anything to my 5 year Hyundai warranty?

I would hope that anyone caught driving with all that lighting and dreadful music would be charged with driving without due care and attention - or its equivalent in other countries.

As drivers, we all have a responsibility to drive safely - and when I come to power I will make it illegal to have such things as :-

speakers in a car that emit more than 80 decibels of noise,
distracting lighting,
fluffy toys hanging from the mirror,
smoking in a car

or any other activity that could be construed as a distraction from concentrating on safe driving.

I am sure that Dave and Rusty will agree with me..... :evil:

I'd be quite happy to allow all that (maybe not the 'music' though) providing it stays on the other side of the world from where I am.

First of all I 100% agree about the music, it's trash!

If I installed these I would use them more like a welcome light rather then a light that was constantly on... But even if they were I don't see any difference between these and the blue lights already in our faces from the dash, it's like a Christmas tree lol.

All that bright light would drive me crazy.  :eek:

As it is, I allready dim the interior lights when driving at night because it's too bright
