gazzi123 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi peeps, Random one. just got some clear side markers. On the rear they came with amber bulbs - is this illegal? or should i put white ones in for safety (as a few times already people have thought i was indicating)?

Matt H Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I thought side markers were generally amber. If you look down a lorry they have amber side marker all the way along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Stock light up red, can't see a problem with amber if they're not flashing, not sure how good they'd look though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 On the old Volvo C70 saloon and estates they have amber side markings too, so can't be illegal mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I smoked my new clear lenses and forgot to put new red bulbs in and my friendly MOT man advised me it would of failed if he hadn't of put black tape on them ... he said they have to be red... but hes old so not sure if hes clued up or not lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoaster Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 White lights facing front, red lights facing rear and amber lights facing side on. Although this legislation seems to suggest either red or amber are allowed for side markers! Confusing, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Put some red bulbs in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I have amber in mine but they are red as stock. I would go with red bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
