They may fall foul of the new MOT regulations when /if they come into force, IIRC any product that reduces the light output will be a fail

Any info on these new regs?

Aslong as they omit all the right colours and give reasonable and clear output then they should be fine.
Even IVA accepts no E marked items that omit 'equivelent' levels.

Worth checking that they still have the correct red reflectors built in for when the vehicle is parked.... a lot of the aftermarket ones dont...which makes them ilegal unless you fit reflectors elsewhere...

On one hand those make the car 'distinctive'.
But then some think Tattoos do similar :-)

Other side is; it identifies the car as one to watch... in the eyes of Officer Friendly.
