I've come to find time and time again, people don't understand that a blue headlight or sidelight is illegal in the U.K

How do i know? I've been pulled over by the police that many time's it takes the pi**

It make's me laff that people sell this type of light time and time again, but alway's says it's FULLY ROAD LEGAL IN EUROPE 'E' marked. Have you never looked to see if it is? Well i guess'd mine was,

Just like you i'm always looking for the HID look of light for my headlights, or sidelights, Tho you're never find one, as the lights you find on here that say  HID or xeon, are just some light with a blue tint to it. They will never look like xeon or HID lights, you'd need a kit for this, or just new lights for  around about £200+, or just buy a BMW.

My Point here is, That in the U.K it's aillegal to have blue headlights or sidelights, You can get away with a tint of blue in the main headlight as i have, But you're see alot of blue light's just for the side's Please people don't buy them, you're wasting you're time, They are 100% illegal even if they say E marked it's crap, E marked just means they have past a test to be sold. Please don't beleave me???? Ask a M.O.T station as they are an M.O.T failure,. I should know, it happend to me and i had to take mine out!

And another light, L.E.D are also M.O.T failures, And also if they are  blue, there illegal.

Well i can see some people reading this, saying (No There Not) Well all i can say is ask a M.O.T test station and they will show you they are, or just pop to you locall police, or ask them when you see them in the street, i did. i'm so 100% they will tell you this, ill give you £10 if im wrong.

If you want to be safe just go with the Brighter, whiter lights you see on here , they tint blue as they get hotter! And theres a nice guy on here who will sell you good lights and not rip you off

But as with all the cars i've had now, When ever i replace the lights with tinted blue one's your find that they are darker then white ones, More the blue the less you can see on the roads. Test it you'reself, put a white light and a blue one, see which one looks better when you point your headlights at a wall, or even better still put the blue tint headlight in, point them at a wall, then put you FULL main beam on, Your see that the full beam over powers the blue tint or xeon light you think you have.

 

Hope this help's
