Went and got the tracking done £41.50 thro groupon for hunter tracking well pleased .
Then I changed the sidelights to led

Nice..

But not legal of course!

"But not legal of course!"

why not, had LED's in my sidelights front and rear for years (passed all MOTs etc), rears are standard OEM fitting LEDs ? .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember

Just because it passed MOT does not mean it is legal. To be legal both light unit and LED have to be 'E' marked. Original led factory lights will be, fitting LEDs to other lighted will not.

balderdash!! i've never heard that before ...
i believe fitting leds other than headlight bulbs is ok and i very much doubt whether mr mot man will remove each led to see an 'e' mark on it.....

May not be enforced but does not stop it being the law.

Will get a couple of links when am back at the computer

From the people who actually sell them.. if anyone was going to say they were legal they would!

I duplicate below the last part of the text:

"However, please note that any LED bulbs used in your brake, sidelights or fog lights are not road legal, either. "

Legal , not legal mot pass mot fail who cares they look great I got 4 for the price of a pint
Show me a cheaper mod for a Landrover and I will fit that can't wait for the dark to post some more pictures of the headlights and puddle lights
My FF now drives straight and can be seen better in the dark and has logo puddle lights what more can you ask for

I don't disagree.. All the interior/puddle lights on mine are now LED.

As I said I have had them in my cars too at times but have decided for my own reasons that I am not doing so anymore

Now I do not necessarily believe all I read but knowing how keen insurance companies are to get out of claims it is just one more thing they possible COULD catch me out on..

So its not really very white looking blue covered sidelight bulbs for me.

Oh and also it rather annoys me when I see the 'reputable' companies selling LEDS.. can't remember which one but there is a lovely picture of a bright LED sidelight on the front of the packet.. then in small writing at the bottom the 'Off road only' bit!

Where did you get the tracking done Henda? At that price it's worth just having it checked  Cheers Ian

Hello dan it's called BTG tuning , tromso close ,Tyne tunnel trading estate ,
On groupon and use code local 15
Young lads but seem to be okay they have a rolling road etc and quoted me about £350 for a remap and egr delete not sure about that price but for £40 ish for tracking well worth it
Cheers

This debate on led lights is a bit confusing but at work all the units and trailers run on led lights and only the headlights use normal lights hid etc
So let's put that in the mix better to be seen

 Cheers Ian

As an aside, there is absolutely 0% chance of an Insurer not paying your claim as a result of having LED's in, unless they materially impacted the incident, for example the third party were so dazzled by your modded lights that they drove into you. Outside of that daft scenario, they just wouldn't do it.

Lights look good though, might do my puddle lights etc soon
