Tail lights
Does anyone know where I could get these tail lights?

Re: Tail lights
Someone said in another thread that this is not legal in Australia.
As far as I can tell from the ADR's, the brake light and indicator light must be clearly visible from up to 200m away, and must be red and yellow (amber) respectively. All that matters is the colour of light emitted.
Understandably though, if you put a red vinyl over a section of tail light where yellow (amber) light is being emitted, you're likely to impact the colour of the light passing through that vinyl.
Someone needs to try this and find a work-around. I'm thinking the only way around it is to leave a clear section (no vinyl) just where the indicator globe is located.

Sure does! Im pretty sur,e in fact im certain these would be illegal; but they are a really fresh take on what I consider to be an aging rear end

Re: Tail lights
yeah - I think to be legal they should have the right ADR approval number on the light, or they used to in Queensland.. that way, the people behind desks can feel important...
