Hey guys,

bought soem new higher wattage spot light bulbs and received them today, but i also received a free pair of BLUE sidelight blubs, which i didnt no i was going to get.

Now i was under the impression that blue sidelight blubs wer illegal, for obvious reason, but it has on the packaging of these that they are "E" Marked Approved, doesnt this meen they are legal??

Like rear lights etc on ebay have that they are "E" Marked Approved thus stating they are ok for the UK roads

Or am i just missing somthing here.......

If there E marked that means that there legal for road use yes, the only time you might ever get pulled with them on is if there l.e.d sidelights and you drive around only with sidelights on and fogs or just sidelights when its dark.

Well thats what i thought, but the packaging says this exactly " "E" Marked Approved" so thus making them legal i presume...

Could allways keep the packageing in my glover box to show PC Plod if i did get pulled....
