ahh side lights

  1. #1
    i just got some blue side lights about 3 minutes ago and then found out they're illegal. gutted. so i gotta wait till it's light so i can go get some normal bulbs. they look sweet aswell. bad times. i heard someone got a £30 on the spot fine for em. i'm not feeling a fine. i'm thinkin just change em :/

    i was all like. these are sick, why doesn't everyone have em, cuz it's illegal, ugh...

    i just carry the old ones in the car so if im pulled i can swap them over as apparently they can say cars not road legal and take it off you.
  3. #3
    yeah you been pulled before for it? i'm pretty sure i'm too lazy to do that so i'm just gonna put the old ones back in
    is there anywhere else i can use the 501 bulbs? lol
    like interior?

    Takes seconds to change them keep them in and swap them if u do get pulled?
  5. #5
    yeah. not worth the hastle though is it :/ i seem to get pulled for no reason as it is.

    does anyone know if the 501's can have any other use? or does anyone want them lol

    keep them in mate, you either need your lights on or you dont. on or off so the blue sidelights give your beams a nice tint.

    looks good, just make sure you dont drive around with your sidelights on...

    i assume you can only have them so they light up orange for indicators iegally .... and put the bulb in the interior light, literally takes 20 seconds, just pop the light off with a flat head screw driver, swap bulbs and pop it back in. if you dont like it can always change it back

    ive got white LED sidelights in mine. they have a blue tint to them. They are technically illegal too but you don't get pulled for them as they are just ice white.

    is it the same bulb in the interior as the side lights?
    if it is i figure i could just swap the neons with the interior lights so i've still got side lights :/
    can't be arsed with going to halfrauds just to get some bulbs

    yeah i've had them. the laser blue range right? they aren't blue, it's just the name aparently.

    they're like £7 off road use bulbs from halfords, if you ask they have em. they were like under the desk when i got em.

    MOT fail if you dont have number plate lights and nasty policemen will pick on it too. ive always had blue sidelights, you cant tell there blue if you have your lights on anyway, just dont drive on the road with just sidelights on, ive never been pulled for mine in nearly 3 years
