Mark M.K Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I would say yes, but don't quote me on that ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 From the quick googling I did, it seems the high level light is not exactly a legal requirement. It can fail an MOT only in the sense that all lamp holders must have working bulbs, as long as the main lights in the rear clusters are not obscured, I can't see there being a problem with this. Haven't we got a policeman on here, who might be able to chip in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemp3 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not sure if it's illegal, but just fitted one to my Fiesta..... looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volts Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 As touched on by Alex as long as you can see the light behind the stickers (assume their transparent and use the light when you brake to turn red i.e show colour) then you should be fine. It's if the sticker blocks the "light" it would be a problem. Not a legal requirement?? New one to me. I can see the police pulling people over if they see a brake light not working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the police pulling people over if they see a brake light not working I think he meant the "third" brake light not being a legal requirement ....maybe?

Stoney871 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Haven't we got a policeman on here, who might be able to chip in? Indeed. It's legal as long as the brake light is adequately visible and not excessively obscured. Factory fitted brake lights must be present and in a functional condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin79666 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Legal or not I don't think its wise to cover lights with anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Seen them on a Smart car, was damn annoying to be behind to be honest, and looked really tacky >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calummac21 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sorry Nath, I'm going to be contraversial here... I think it looks a bit tacky I've only saw one of these in person and it looked good in my opinion but sadly it was on a 106 quicksilver. I was behind it, it started braking and the quicksilver logo was on the left and it said quicksilver after that. I can't imagine many others to look that great. I'm not a big fan of the current fiesta typeface myself though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
