   i thought smoked jewels were legal but i suppose it depends on how much they are "smoked", ive seen lights on here that were legal that are black as fuck!

   every car needs at least 1 reflector at the back.will fail mot if you dont have one anyways.
   you can keep your smoked jewels and have em as dark as you like and just get a stick on reflector and stick it just below your reg plate or anywhere you find where it doesn't look tacky

   reflectors can go anywhere on the back, no legal requirement to there position, as long as there are some there

   iv never been pulled but other forums iv been on have said its illegal to not have reflectors on the back, so when iv tinted lights iv always left reflectors untinted

   Why though? Standards dont reflect anymore light then smoked. Sticking two reflectors on your care would look NOOB plus your number plate is reflective

   i have always thort that but went off advice given on previous forum just leaving reflectors shown. i dont like tacky stick on ones they look cheep. but if you tint reflectors then they wont reflect will they. and yeah reg plates reflect so iv most probs been given false info from the un named forum im talking about lol
