Zzzz... Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 The MOT law , only requires the colour of the light not to be changed, and to be bright enough to be seen. if the lights are ared and you can see them at, say, 20m you should have no probs... check the actual inspection points in here: http://www.ukmot.com/1-3.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 They are legal as long as illumination is visible. Though it can look good, IMO a little dated now & will reduce brake light illumination slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 requires a little thought for installing them if they are similar to mine (ie use the hairdryer to warm the vinyl up and stretch it). Hence why prob Sarnie had no idea on how to fit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
