[quote][i]Originally posted by stuartmitchell[/i] Under the Road Vehicle lighting regs 1989 the following applies; It is an offence to show a Red light light to the front and anything other than a red light to the rear. The common exceptions being reg plate lights, reversing lights and interior lights. This includes reflectors ie white to the front and red to the rear. The regs also stipulate the position, type, wattage etc to be fitted. Also any optional lamps fitted must comply with the regs. Headlamps and front position lamps must be white or in certain excepted cases amber. The lighting regs are vast and cover all aspects of vehicle illumination. Interpretation may differ but the basics are if the neons are red then they must not whether directly or by reflection be seen to the front, and if white they must not be seen to the rear. As stated the optional lamps must also comply with the regs again some differing interpretations may be found re what exactly an optional lamp is. I am aware that the under body lights also are visible to the side and technically only amber is to be visible.ie side repeaters and outline markers. I cannot make an official statement on this but provided the colouring requirements are adheared to then there should be very little problem as long as there is no undue dazzle or discomfort to other road users and the lights do not flash in any way. I hope this clarifys the situation bearing in mind the vastness of the subject and the differing interpretations of individual officers/PFs. There maybe cases where only a court could decide, that would be extreme and hopefully avoidable. Obviously there is no problem if the vehicle is being used off a public road. :look: [/quote]
