UK Law dictates that all motorists lights should be in good working order. You can be prosecuted for driving (even in the daytime) with defective lights. You can be fined and have penalty points added to your driving licence if convicted. In some EU countries motorists are legally obliged to carry a spare bulb kit in case of bulb failure. Don't be caught out, always carry a spare set of bulbs and test your lights on a regular basis, especially in winter.

i used to have the 4 in 1 led blue bulbs in my old sri and the only time i got pulled for driving with thme on was when one side was flashing!! turns out the leds had broken so 2 out of hte 4 were flashing on my drivers side so they were saying i was trying to impersonate a police vehicle, i just told them i work in halfords and said that i would replace them with standard bulbs the very next day and they wre fine bout it. they tried telling me that my car was originally silver when it was black and i told them that it cudnt have been because it was an sri not a sport on an L plate! lol shud have seen the coppers face...

i think they look really good! each to their own though isnt it?
if everyone on here liked the same things then we'd all be driving around in corsa that looked identical!
ill keep them in for a while if i get stopped ill take them out!
