if its your front lights then it is most possibly a no no. if its your rear lights then as long as the red and white bulb shines through you should be ok,

corecct me if im wrong.

its a very debateable area this one. one copper will let you off cos it still shines red, but another the next day will book you cos its not bright enough.

id say if you do it, stick with the proper stuff, and give them a light coat. nothing majorly thick, just enough to tone out the other colours

I agree with daz k they do look a bit shite :lol:

although mine are tinted red on the back and I've not had a problem with coppers yet and they look like the ones you pay ?80 odd for.

Just Do It!

you know it makes sense

agreed....the blue and black cough*corsanova*cough look awful and should be left for nobbers with led washer jets.

the red stuff looks pretty cool though
