Yes they would be illegal, to be road worth (I.E pass MOT test) they only need to Emmit light for each function in the correct colour but traffic cops would be all over them and there would need to be a reflector fitted to thosei prefer the 1s that have just the red tinted and leave the smoked bit as smoked, i dont think the cops would take as much notice of them as they look more factory but if you do them like the above its best to use 2k black paint mixed with clear so it looks black but will still clear enough allow light through EDIT I had these fitted on mine for 3 days during that time i got an MOT with separate reflectors on the bumper but got pulled 3-4 times so they came off   ________________________________________ All South Wales Members Click HereTeam Supercharged Black RALLYE ™ (Click Here for Build Project) MY EBAY ITEMS 07943066306 |

Yes the car has to have a reflective part anywhere visible on the back for the MOT, the 6 has it in the lights as standard.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.
