double-6s 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Yep they're tinted I think mate. It's come up on here before. Looks very nice IMO but needs the fogs doing too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.A.N.T. 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Legal? Loks nice, but having just uprated the loom and bulbs a little counter productive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 11, 2006 I really like the look of them :) I have to upgrade the bulbs again (just slapped in some standards for my MOT as one blew the day before). when I get the new bulbs I may have to invest in some tinting spray ;) can't see them not being legal, going my the light that the standard looms produces, anything is brighter than that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted April 11, 2006 That's the car greeny has/had in his signature. I can't see them being legal either! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

double-6s 0 Posted April 11, 2006 i reckon its legal/totally acceptable. a copper told me that they don't care as long as they're fairly bright at night. my rears were really badly painted black, very dark, and they didn't have a problem with them.

If they're all black then they can fail the MOT due to having no reflectors... I was once followed by a copper who tailed me for a mile or so, when I pulled up at my g.friends house he put on his blues and got out. Thought I was in the shit, but couldn't think of anything I'd done. turns out he just wanted to look at the car (my old Golf with a rallye front) and he said that with no reflectors on the back, if someone hit me from behined when it was parked the insurance might not pay out cos they could justifiably say they didn't see it... He then let me go, but said a less friendly copper might give me a caution/whatever they do if he say me... (Didn't put the reflectors back on, jsut swopped over the lights to the originals when MOT time came... :wink: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted April 12, 2006 well they're not completely black obviously or they wouldn't work!!! as far as i know the reflecting capacity is just reduced, as is the lighting. maybe i just spoke to an unusally reasonable copper? they are out there aparently :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blinky16v 0 Posted April 13, 2006 Isn't the rear number plate reflective? Thats should enable someone to see the car at night... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
