I don't see why it would be illegal.. but it could be illegal just by the fact that it would be distracting at night for drivers, just like undergrlow neon.

I would be surprised if the laws or regulations prohibit this... depends on how they're worded. If it's something like you're not allowed to add "light emitting devices" to your vehicle, this is a gray area. The glow in the dark material is emitting light, but it's not a device.

Anyways, it's all a moot point though... you're not going to have the glowing effect for very long... and for the most part, it won't work. It'll store the light during the day, but when dusk falls, it starts losing the glow... so by the time it's actually dark, the glow will probably already be gone...

You'd have to live where there are no street lights whatsoever. It would be parked in your garage, door closed, with the lights shining on it for a long time before you took it out. Oh, and it would have to be a moonless night as well.

The laws are worded that you cannot have light other than white/amber to the front, amber/red to the read.

Have you seen the transit buses with lighted signs on the side? I would have thought these would be illegal since underglow is.
