Was watching the le mans last week and seemed to take a fancy to there lights!

I think it looks unreal! Just thought I'd be something different especially with HIDs becoming illegal!

The law/Mot hand book within the UK states that front primary lighting must produce a White or Yellow light. There is no documentation about the colour of the actual lens.

How won't I be able to see where I'm going?, it'd be the people coming towards me that would have the problems

id do it if it was reversible. but it would probably draw unwanted attention towards me. dont fancy getting a warning because the copper doesnt actually know the law. but warns you just incase :S
