   Why would you ever need it? Why not get arrows and text pointing to your exhaust, boot lock, rear lights, door handles, window wipers, rear window, wheels and so on?

    because on a track they will attatch the tow rope to anything if you breakdown or "bin it"! which could result in wrecking your car so these are put on to show where to attach it (to the towing eyes) and avoid this problem...... in future don't try and act wise if you've not a clue what your on about !!! anymore problems pm me rather than cluttering up my thread please

    Yes remember that smoked jewels may not come with a reflector built in - Problems for MOT's!

    I think you should smoke your standard lights. smoke the red bit and leave the reverse light (white part) as normal. Looks really good

    I think maybe its included in some but not in others.
    
    A quick test: Just shine a torch on to the light assembly to find out straight away if there is one built in.
