hey there,

I know there 100% illegal as i put knight rider light at the front of my car and within in 6 hours i got pulled and got a 30 quid fine, I then asked what lights are you allowed to the front and back of ur car and he said anything bar red and blue, as they are emergency car lights, regardless of how low or high you put them.

So thats you sorted,

I you have a halfords near by get your self a trade card and you can discount prices on alomost anything, :grin:

I had green ones on mine for about 3 weeks, then I realised I was being stupid lol! In fairness they were LED green ones and lit up the numberplate and never had any trouble, but now I opted for white ones, very bright, and similar to the look you see on some Beemers.


A pair of white LED bulbs will only cost you a couple of quid from eBay.

LED bulbs £1.99, HID's £40, looking even more of a cock, priceless.

Somethings money can't buy, for everything else, there's Shady.
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....
