Jonny s Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi ash these would not be legal I had already checked this a year or so ago with the police and is classed as a distraction to other drivers. Inside the car eg. The footwells it is legal as long as it doesn't illuminate all the car but not on the outside or under the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 cheers mate, whats the brightest side light that are legal do you know pal? when purchasing ensure the bulbs are Can-Bus error free as regular LED Bulbs will not work with the focus as it has a can-bus system B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickwick10_1 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 when purchasing ensure the bulbs are Can-Bus error free as regular led bulbs will not work with the focus as it has a can-bus system B) Mate be careful how many LEDs it has as they may be to bright ? I have fitted 5 x LEDs and they are ok as you see in photo . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
