I don't want to sound picky or mean but they are blue lights correct? And you intend to drive with them on?

What do you mean by correct? Do you mean legal? Answer is no, theyre not legal. The single led's come on automatically with my headlights, the fogs have a switch. Depending on where I am I may put them on.

but you shouldn't drive with blue lights showing anywhere on your car, be it when you think there aren't police around to catch you or not...! Seriously, if you looked in your rear view and could just pick out some blue lights, what would you think? My automatic response is to concentrate so much and if necessary pull in. There illegal because people think of an emergency vehicle when they see blue.

I meant correct as in it wasn't a tint by a fault of your camera or incase I am turning colour blind lol.

So everytime you turn on your headlights you're showing blue lights, that's bad

You should have them on a switch, its an automatic £30 for EACH illegal light, your looking at £120 for every time the bab spot you! Thats not counting those 'driving' lamps...

Not too keen on the led'S, a bit too chav for me, sorry! :I

Oh come on! Since when have u seen an emergency vehicle with tiny little bulbs near to the floor which dont flash on a car that has a shopping trolley handle on the back of it? The neons were the same. Ever seen an emergency vehicle with undercar lighting?

The small led's will be on all the time with the headlights. Ever seen a lorry on the motorway with more lights on them than Blackpool?

I'll take the risk with plod for the fairy lights, the fogs will only be on very occasionaly and not in traffic. Anyone who thinks my car maybe an emergency vehicle and pull over need their eyes tested. However, the strobes are a different matter,

you fitting strobes now, Wimmy?!

Whimy, come on! How good is your eye sight? I know that in the dark all you can see is lights. Therefore if i catch the sight of blue in my side/rearview mirror, like all others I automatically think police. The light will be distorted by the white of your headlamps anyway so the blue could easily be misunderstand is being behind you and reflecting.

Blue is a really bad colour, worse than red in my opinion because blue automatically tells everyone emergency vehicle and in the dark it is usually nigh impossible to see the difference between a small blue light 50m away or a large blue light 150m away. This is especially true in your rear view mirror when at night, any amount of blue will lead to a change in driving style.

I hate being like this to you but i feel strongly that you could be causing a danger using them on your car, am i the only one you thinks so??

Oh and in terms of the law, if a copper is pissed off with his day, £120 could be the smallest of worries when you are arrested on the spot for "Attempting to impersonate a emergency vehicle".

I could understand what you are saying if they flashed. Then yes, it could cause a problem. But small lights that dont flicker or flash? Do you pull over at every car with windscreen wash led's on them?

I was going to but I knackered the control box for them. Tried turning the tempo up a bit too much and snapped something off inside it. On attemptint to repair them I touched part of the circuit board I shouldnt have and sent 450v through my left arm. Ooops, lol.

No wthese would have been for show only and not used on the road

Wimmy, on a bumpy road they may appear to flash!

Paul, you have a point but chill! You can't right all the wrongs, its wimmy's car and he is aware of the risks and has decided he will take them, thats his decision, wrong or right.

IMO Wimmy, your car is very nice, but I reckon led's are little tacky and detract from it overall, just my op tho

Stilo TURBO!!!!(diesel)

i agree Wimmy....if your car is to be mistaken for an emergency vehicle....the people who mistake it dont deserve a driving licence....."all the rage...dark coloured emergency vehicles"

VERY nice car you have there. Good idea with the wipers 4 the sunstrip..didnt think of that, took my sunstrip off 4 MOT and had 2 get a new one.


Mk1 Punto 1.2 60sx metallic green.......my beast!!

Tis Ok. Opinions taken

If I didnt want opinions, I wouldnt have posted in the first place. Opinion taken and honesty accepted [8D]

I know i seem to need to chill James but this is a serious thing. And no, I do deserve a driving licence, because in my hea and 99% of other drivers, blue means emergency vehicle which means danger and hence driving style has to change. In the far distance and up and down bumps/rain etc. they will appear to flash.

I am not saying it would be a problem at dusk on a town road but driving down a wet country road at 12pm at night, you could easily be mistaken for a police car/ambulance/fire engine. James, it isn't his choice, it's the law unfortunately and he has no choice really unless he wants to break the law which I am not supposing your are condoning?

Washer LEDs: no, but they aren't intended to provide more than a tiny amount of light outwards and are too small to be seen, especially when just above the headlight. Yours are significantly below the position of the head lights and hence may possibly be more visible. Anyway, I don't think they are right anyway!


Please stef_punto, in the dark, how do you know whether a car is white, black, yellow of green, especially in an unlit area? Also, there is a tendency for unmarked police cars and traffic cars to move away from white to silver or other colours.

It's just causing an unnecessary danger IMO.

If you do keep them and love them I can't stop you but you have put a picture up for everybody to see with your number plate and illegal lights & explaining you have and will use them. Maybe you should reconsider the picture?

I don't want to be rude and feel horrible for being so serious about it but IMO it is a serious thing - it's nothing personal. I understand you have the right to do whatever you want to your car but if you intend to drive it on the road you should keep within the law. Is it really worth it to be done for impersonating a cop car?

Paul, I didn't mean its his choice to have them, I meant its his decision to go with them and take the risk of being caught.

Personally, If I were you wimmy, I'd change back to undercar neons and keep them for shows/cruises where your not going to be deemed a 'menace'. I personally think the undercar looks much better.

Stilo TURBO!!!!(diesel)

Which is probably what I agree with, im not in anyway suggesting people can't do whatever they want in terms of shows etc. despite what I think of it; it's their choice!

However, this would be a menace, in your words too
