Little Green Giant Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 all reds come on most models, just have to spray the reverse lamp section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Been thinking of doing this for a while, just worried about the bulb situation! I've heard white LED's for reverse light bulbs can do the trick, I'm thinking they must still look a little red though surely . Also green indicator bulbs apparently flash amber through red tint film!LGG raises a good point though, you can buy a piece of circular red tint film for the reverse tail light on the mk1 TT, does the job on that fine, so the same could be applied for the Lupo, hmmmm....

Philplop Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Reverse lights don't strictly have to be white, in fact I think they're optional altogether.They're not tested on an MOT at all.So the legality side isn't an issue with the reverse lights.

B12 NTS Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Thanks for all the info !Just got my wheels refurbished satin black so going for the murdered look (black loop)Don't really want to do all black lights, may just look abit chaver'ish around the toon lolWas thinking off all red rears including the already red upper brake light, red side repeaters and front indicators ??Been messing around with the primary colours to see if I could actually do this ?? Like RossB pointed out !Just trying something new hehe (if it works)Cheers guys Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm pretty sure it's illegal to show any red light at the front or side of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Yeah Phil think you're right about the reverse lights not being part of an MOT, it's just the safety I'd be worried about - people not realising you're reversing etc, could be a tad dangerous. I've just ordered some red tint film and some white LED reverse bulbs though so I guess I'll find out for myself soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B12 NTS Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Great RossB, post some pics up of the all red rears when you had done them then I will copy you from there lolPhil, I want red lense but it will flash orange on the front and sides !! Is that illegal ??Cheers again guys Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
