Hi Guys got some blue LED's for xmas and im wondering where to install. I know they are supposed to be for the side lights but isnt that illegal, or maybe the front stand lights but im sure thats illegal too. Have my fellow MG friends any idea or suggestions?

Thanks Guys

Any blue light on the exterior of a car, wether headlights, underneath, washer jets etc is 100% illegal. Only emergancy vehicles are allowed to use blue lights. Hope that helps !

Dont put blue LED's anywhere on your car, 2 reasons - 1) it attracts the wrong type of attention & 2) you may start looking like a chav!!!

Has it? ...Do you mean to permit "green" ABS warning lamps to face to the front (of trailers)? I know of that, but I would call that, "relaxed" the law was specific to this point for some time. Do you know something differnt?

All I know is that I have read about it someplace......probably a local paper I dunno. Basically sayign that allowing HGV's and the like to carry blue lights onboard and outside the cab is a stupid idea and they should be treated no different to a car......

Never mind anyway.......
