   do these actually contain reflectors or what???
   
   i always thought they were 100% road legal, however my motor failed its MOT today an 1 of the reasons was "no rear reflectors fitted"
   
   i shown them the E-mark on the lights, there response was that there was no british flag e mark or sumit ????
   
   i've had to buy some reflective tape from halfrauds to stick on the bumper, for the retest

   i had the same problem with mines plus a few other things. told the guy they had been on for 3 years and he was he only person to fail it cause of that. but wasn`t having any off it. so i took it somewhere else and it passed.

   its not really a problem even if they dont like VTR - Chris said you can buy cheap reflector stickers and stick them on for the MOT and take them off round the corner once passed
