supra_24 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hi guys, I am in the process of looking at some led tail lights for the supra, but just wondered whether you guys could advise that these are legal for road use or not? Just wanted to confirm with you guys first before considering. Any help on this would be appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazDoran Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 LED tail lights are perfectly legal (Companies like Audi now use them as standard) but as with any lights, LED or otherwise they can be illegal if necessary requirements aren't met.

supra_24 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 These are the rear lights I'm looking to at. Top image with black backing lights. I just wanted to double make sure that these were fine for road use. The housing is different to oem and I'm not sire they have reflectors. Anyone else advise on this?

CASHEYE Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I doubt you'd get pulled for no reflectors. But for mot purposes, just slap some of the self adhesive ones on the bumper. I'm making some at the moment (an extremely slow process) which will be LED based and have reflectors built into the design. Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazDoran Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 As above, those lights are fine, but you technically need reflectors and a rear fog to make it MOT worthy, but i doubt you'd get pulled over for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 As above, I'm making some but not using reflectors or a rear fog. But these are needed for an mot so I'll either get a local friendly garage to mot it or get a cheap set of pre face-lift for spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 You do know reflectors are there for a reason so your car can been seen at night from a distance by on coming vehicles, if I was doing some I would cut a ring the size of the leds inred reflective tape and put it in 1 or maybe all, Better still would be between the leds, one of the blue water boys has a triagle f1 tpye fog light in the bottom middle of bumper which looks good and could possibly fit a reflector in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in regards to reflectors, If I got a set of adhesive reflectors and had them on the outside of the tail light casing and rear bumper, would that be acceptable?
