right, i am looking at some clear rear lights, i seem to have come across two types, in some pictures the lights are totally clear and u cant see and colours through, but in some pictures you can see the colours of the bulbs through the lights. So when u buy them can you see the colours through them?
Is it something to do with that e mark thing
thanks

ok total clear ones are budget ones
they come with color bulbs which fade after a time.
ones with color shown thru them use normal bulbs which is more handy.
and are emarked.
both kinds dont have built in reflectors
so both r not road legal unless u put the reflectors on.
both wil pass mot as long as reflectors are on and right color is shown.
i used to have budget smoked lights but then changed to the mhw ones as i got sick of buyin color bulbs all the time
