Yellow lights

[strictlyxsi]

I was just wondering if it was legal to have yellow lights, i no car's pass the mot with them but i was just wondering about the police side of things.

[adit]

well if they pass an MOT, surely the Police can't complain

[strictlyxsi]

I no, they dim the light down but some laws are different from mot regualtions

[pacerpete]

Why would you want people to think you were French ?

smoked haddock look ftw

[verde]

They look cool butdad wont let me get a set cos apparently theyr dangerously bad

[kieran325]

I'm partial to yellow lights

[kam-325i]

but some laws are different from mot regualtions

in-correct.

To have something that does not conform to regulations is against the law.

A vehicle, at MoT time, is tested against the regulations, not the laws.

I had yellow lights (lamin-x)

Looked like 4 small bowls of pish and made my HID's look green!

Needless to say I removed the offending yellowness..

IMO leave the lights alone.. Fit bullseyes or smileys and HID's and concentrate on bits of the car that matter!

[Barx325i]

I'd forgotten about those... Best left that way

The yellow with HIDs sounds vile, probably better than standard e30 lights though. Mine are sooo bad, theyv been tinted aswell. its like using a lighter.

you can get yellow HID's they look wicked. 3000k or 3500k

[Captain_Birdseye]

perfectly legal, I remember a debate about this elsewhere. Go Euro! You can get a numberplate with a Spanish Dealership name on it to complete the look. (and - what I want - some of those plastic guards to go round the windows to stop rain getting on your fag).

[Rich320I]

yeah iv got yellow lights and went through the MOT no worries, i just went in with a string of onions round my neck and a stripy T shirt so the chap thought i was french

They're legal if they are the original Hella versions but if they are tinted with a film over them like Lamin-X they shouldn't go through an MOT according to the new regulations.

I've got a pair of them. Wind deflectors?

[Captain_Birdseye]

^That's them. How do they suit the car out of interest? (not that mines going to win glamor contests)

Here's the only photo I can find.

[Captain_Birdseye]

The thingys look ok, the wheels I'm not too sure about! (and the the badge)

Hid normally give a hint of blue , so blue with yellow = green

mine went through no probs

When was it tested though, the car in my sig pic went through fine but that was before the recent MOT changes which now ban anything applied to the lenses affecting light output.

I suspect many testers will let a lot through though unless it's a really dark tint.

Did you bring it from a polish guy?

[P10mike]

Previous owner grot it from a polish guy.
Its probably best that its off the road as i think it had a dubious history, one of the many reasons being the ariel.

[strictlyxsi]
