Oh but before i put them on the car i went and had a chat with traffic and showed them the lights and they were happy with them being legal :confused:

Na id want abit of white to go with the car.

And they are easy to make, first make sure they are clean well obviously. then tape up all the bits you dont want to spray as so

and you can see ive already sprayed them red. but make sure you spray them very lightly and about 5 coats of red spray

Then once they are dry take the the tape off

"E-marked" clear rear/smoked lights come with stick on red reflectors, hence being advertised as legal.

Traffic copper was talking out his bum tbh, as Adam said its an MOT requirement (my old hatch almost failed once as one fell off on the way to the MOT station. Used an old pushbike reflector as a temporary fix lol). Anyway, if they saw you driving at night, their headlights would make the reflectors look white, as if you had reverse lights on. So they'd no doubt pull you over for that.

Yea but thats what i dont get they have seen me driving a few times and have been behind me. Maybe because i went and had a chat to them about it and they are letting me off with them?
