Michael robinson Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 what do you's think of these? - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk:80/NISSAN-350Z-20 ... _500wt_689 Are these even legal ? Thought you needed a reflective surface on the back of the car ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 to be legal they must show a reflector and also the MOT station may pull them up if the indicators etc are not bright enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael robinson Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 I thought so just wanted to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 to be legal they must show a reflector and also the MOT station may pull them up if the indicators etc are not bright enough Think your right about the reflector, but isn't the reflector and indicators in the bumper clusters on the 350? (If you haven't already cleared them out) If you liked them that much, you could always put the OEM ones in at MOT time. (5 min job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael robinson Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 I do think they look cool and would finish the look off am going for just don't fancey getting pulled over all the time for them, don't no if the police would see them as an issue Yeah it's only 3screw & a conneter plug .

(5 min job) yes, get hit up the backside because the driver didn't see the brake lights and see if your insurace will pay out ( I think not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatterjon Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I had the same thing done to my Prelude lights a few years ago when I had the car resprayed, never had any problems with MOT, got pulled a couple of times, but they never mentioned the lights!!

Michael robinson Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 what percentage did you have yours? smoked Or to the extreme of black out ? Going to email to ask for spec of light getting through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Dont like these blacked out lights. Been said many times before they are dangerous. An ex member use to have them fitted on his car and i followed him on the Wales drive out many years ago, you could hardly see the brake lights working!!

Sam Mcgoo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Just found this Thread: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=43447 Worth asking the guys who posted their thoughts as to whether they are a problem as they have experience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatterjon Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 what percentage did you have yours? smoked Or to the extreme of black out ? Not sure on the percentage but they were pretty dark, saying that you could still see the brake lights fine through them. Maybe worth seeing if the ebayer will let you fit them to a zed to see how much light comes through!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 This stuff is actually ok http://www.flyeyeskit.co.uk/ I am anti painting the lights as this does dim the lights whatever argument you make, but this stuff has very small perforations in it and lets through all the light you need. I have some for the rear lights on my Leon so if I ever get around to putting it on I will take picture with just one light done Would never put any on my Zed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
