I would think those are illegal?!

Only white-yellow colour range permitted front facing other than turning indicator bulbs iirc

He but I can just switch them of for mot or take them out lol

[Piggy]

So....
Whats the point?!

I assume they come on with ignition and switch off with headlights(or dim?)

[WiNgNuTz]

Does seem a little pointless to me, also must obscure the light from your indicators?

[pioneer DJ paddy]

No have a switch in the glove box for it we'll I like them lol they look better in the flesh lol the pics don't do it any justice :-)

[WiNgNuTz]

Fair enough, if you like them, thats what counts at the end of the day i suppose.

[pioneer DJ paddy]

Lol yep

[Piggy]

I still dont get the point of them?!

Pretty sure sidelights being amber is a grey area. We've had the discussion at work regarding out roof marker lights when we ran out of white 501 bulbs and one of the supervisors decided to replace with amber ones. I tried to find a specific law (road traffic act) but all I found were mot guidelines which are a legal standard (unless vehicle was standard with yellow running lights) I believe it just brings attention to the car by those who would scrutinise it (police) as Id believe they'd treat it the same as running blue sidelights.

If ur at a car show ya can just switch the lights off and put these on for show lol its just a little thing I though I would try seen sum phase 1 306s on here with them sum people like them sum don't lol but if yous could see the orange use might like them coz in the photos they just look white ;-)

Orange sides look nice on most cars, what about e60 bm's, they have orange running lights as standard.

Seen afew cars do this round my way, going for the USDM vibe I guess...personally I think its looks pretty good on the right car.

[Norledge]

I ran them on my passat for a bit of a USDM look.

As said it's a very grey area. My moter passed them but the guy I sold the car to had a fail.

I'm not sure the look suits the 306 though.

My V50 has them, more as side markers tbh, but they're tiny and not bright at all... I. E. You couldn't possibly mistake them for indicators...
