Just make sure you only use them off the road.

Photoshop? No its green led 501 bulbs thought it would be bit different. I've found green halos that might work if I separate the lights and fit inside. Not every ones cup of tea but nice to be different lol

My drive to work is why i have 4x4. The back drive from farm is basically a track with bumps pot holes etc for mile and half and drops into my home village where I work so 3 miles door to door.

Ah I see you replaced your standard bulbs I thought you managed to fit a 2nd set of lights in there so they are not always green, If the police see these lit they will pull you.

Love the green sidelights:thumbs had them 20 years ago by painting my standard 501 bulbs:lol but the are totally illegal your local copper might turn a blind eye to them (you've prob blinded him with your other lights :lol:lol) but other coppers won't be happy about them but most people just get a defect notice & they have to be changed back to white within 5 days & get the form stamped by a MOT tester before you hand it in to the police station:augie

So what's illegal about coloured side lights?

Years ago (when I was an idiot lol) I got a tug from local plod for general numb-scullery, we spoke a little about blue sidelights that i had and she told me as long as they do not flash they're not illegal :nenau

But I'll be frank, I can't really be bothered to research it :)

Law states only white or amber lights at the front & red or amber at the rear, I had around 5 defect notices for mine but got a letter through the post saying any more & I would be in court for it:eek: all of my Son's mates have been pulled for the same thing yet trucks never get stopped for blue & green marker lights:nenau

What gives with this where people only dip when they're 100% sure you're on dip, and will only dip after you? The number of times I dip early then have to flash muppets as they haven't seen me dip or can't be bothered dipping. It's crazy.

Yeh that's a good point with the trucks, even the ones they have in the cab are really bright aren't they?

Love the picture at the front of this post took me back to my late teens when my folks moved into the countryside we lived on Tithebarn Lane, Sutton-on-the-Hill Derbys.

I was there from age 17 years to 25 years until I left home. We were surrounded by Farms - happy days we used to get snowed in for a couple of days a year back then until snow plough opened our lane.
