    Just had a thought about this and don't know if its been done or not, but might be a good'un for next to no bucks....

    Instead of having normal white reversing lights, why not replace those bulbs with the blue tinted ones? Dead easy to do, will only cost pennies, and its a little bit different.

    If you all think its a sh*te idea, then fair play!!!

    read it and thought it was borderline - getting pulled over all the time may get annoying would have to look into it

    dont see why you would get done for it!
    if you get a white bulb which is tinted blue that would be better as i dont think they are illegal
    and plus how often do you get seen reversing by the police

    Tbh.. A copper would have to be a right twat to follow you to a parking space to reverse. How many coppers do you see in a car park?.. As far as i've seen.. None!
