UK Legal or not?

[Griffie_99]

Found these on eBay, but not sure if they will get through the MOT or not. What do you guys think?

Will post up the pic and the link.

Really like these, and think they would add a nice touch to the car.

So long as the lights work, they should not fail them. Think they look better with a black background.

Depends if the tester has any taste.

to the letter of the law most things on a modified car aren\'t legal ... will it pass an MOT at 99% of MOT stations ? the answer is yes.

are the reflectors integral to the standard lights on on the bodywork?

[notf1ack]

Normally the reason that aftermarket lights wouldn\'t be road legal is because they don\'t have reflectors but you can get away with it by adding some separate ones (I know someone who has a couple of reflective stickers that he attaches with blue tack to get through the MOT).

I\'d be more worried about them being located in the US though.  This means that they would have a different coloured indicator (red instead of amber) and they are likely to be configured for a left hand drive car.  If you\'ve got a RHD then chances are you need to do some rewiring to get them to fit as some of the lights might be on different sides.

Don\'t do it , IMO they look awful , saw them in a mag a while back

The clusters would look better with a black background but the design of the 3rd brake light is dreadful

JUst my 2pence worth , everyone has there own taste I suppose
