Hi people..so i took my car to Halfords/Halfrauds to get my car full service and MOT because it was cheapest one i found. The service went well and all then came to service..
My cars front suspension ball joint failed so got that replaced cool.
Then came my black tinted rear lights which failed MOT because it wasn't passing through 50% light,even though i driven past police cars etc and haven't got pulled over once for complain.
If the lights has MOT failure does that mean their not road legal??
These lights i am talking about by the way

Luckily i still have ph1 rear lights to use to take it to MOT again for pass..
But can someone answer my question please. Smile

If the lights were the reason that caused the failure then no they are not road legal but you could just use the phase 1 lights in the next MOT then switch to the tinted if you dont mind driving with illegal lights Ben.M

The MOT defines the legality of a car. If it fails it's illegal. Kind of simple really. Unless you're Kurtis of course....

b******s. In your "had a bad idea" thread is the real photo and the colour of your car is nothing like that above. Crap camara or not. You have adjusted the colour that much you've turned a green tree red.

Lol think i would rather pass and i guess lesson learned to not buy rear lights done by people themselves,i'm not really complaining since i only paid a tenner for them.
It just means i need go get a new set of black rear lights again.

lol your a lucky guy then,i've been driving with them since December and haven't been pulled over once or anything. But i have learned my lesson to not buy lights done by individuals. So where can you actually get legit black lights,i will probably end up buying black lexus lights in future,worried that the black angel headlights on ebay are fake too now lol.
