Just wondering if people with the red rear lights have modified the wiring so that the reverse light is used as the turn signal?
If not, is it legal for you turn signal to flash red and not amber?
Cheers folks.

E30Adam mentioned that he modified the wiring for his all-reds, so it should be easy enough 
I don't know how though, will be interested to find out
Better to do it than not as I don't reckon you'll get away with it flashing red!

Amber bulbs dont make fck all difference mate. Me and Simon12 have both tried them and they havnt made a difference. My lights are quite red and its obviously that there not amber when they flash.But until i get pulled i cant be arsed to do anything else.

I think the plod will be too busy pulling muppets in Corsa's with badly fitted Lexus rear lights that flash brake/reversing/fogs when indicating as they are wired up badly.

No probs here either, mine are not as red as some guys, but it enough to look different no enought to flash red, it a orangey yellow mix, no probs with police etc ( well get followed whenever i am in the e30)
