What do you have to do to the lights to make them legal over here. I was toying with the idea of european spec lights, but wasn't sure whether I would have to add a filter of something in order to get a white light for the reverse.

You dont need a reverse light apparently. So its not illegal to not have one. The alternative for you coupe owners tho is to get the side thats got the revers light in already and get a red bulb for the foglight.

Ahhhh, might give that a go! Don't think many people go down the 2 reversing light route.

Thanks.

I think that would look well cool! Or am I mad (probably both)

somebody source some and we'll see if we can get a group buy together.
I think it'd look well smart.

youd have to get a bolt-on foglamp or two though...

Nah.. just put a red bulb in the right hand reverse light and wire it up as is now...

Yeah thats right, as the lense doesn't have to be red. As long as it shines red then that's fine.

Hmmm wonder whether I should add that to my shoppiong list for Martyn?
