They are legal just not MOT standard, they will fail if on the car for mot, they do not have reflectors, if you added some refletors say on the bootlid or the bumper then it would pass, its gayer than aids when you have do that, makes your car looks like its got arse grapes lol :lol:

yeh u can get a roll of red reflective safety tape in halfords for £4 :) not sure if it would be legal on the mudflaps but its a good idea...iv read alot of people just put the red reflective tape on there lights..? :?

i may do that-in the place where the reflectors are on standard lights..or just put 2 small strips on the bumper just underneath the lights.:)
