how does the law stand with rear lights,now with pics

(1/4) > >>

wrecker:
hay all,

at the moment I'm making a new rear metal bumper for my vitara,as the lights are in the bumper Ive bought same fancy
led lights, but

the lights Ive got are road legal,4 x red 2 orange

the idea being would it be OK to have 1 set come on as side lights then other set to use as break lights :-k next to each other

the only prob i can see is they will be the same brightness,is this a prob :doh:

thanks for your time all ;)

yes you need brighter stop than side, the best is to split them with an indicator or a Reverse light so there is a distinct difference also you can get a set of 5w or 10w for side and a 21w for stop

Thats what I was going to say but you beat me to it   :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
Side lights must be 5 watts.  IIRC brake lights must be 36 watts maximum and mounted symetrically in pairs (an extra one is no compulsory).

I also remember vaguely something about having the indicators outside the sidelamps on the back of my Sankey, the way the army have it not being legal :-.

But I reckon that if you are using E marked lamps then you should be ok.

wrecker:
thanks for taking the time to explain that guys :clap:

ill post a pic when done to see what you guys think ;)
