Fitting lower red reflectors with LED's?

[Chunky1234]

Has anyone purchased and fitted these?  Also, if you have do you know if they maintain their reflective quality?  I have asked the seller on that well known auction site but doubt whether I get an honest response?

I can't see them being legal in the UK but give us a link to the item Mark so that we can see more details.

Thanks for the reply.  I fitted some thing similar to my CT.  You just don't use them as turn markers, just don't connect that wire.  You then have additional driving and break lights, perfect!  However, they must remain reflective when off else could be an MOT fail.  Which is why i asked the original question.  I am sure the seller will come back and say yes but thought if someone has fitted them they would know.

I've seen them fitted but they look naff. 

Anyone with an eye for bulbs can see those are aftermarket as they're too small

Thanks Rayanns.  The seller came back and said they have no reflective quality so I will be leaving them well alone......

There are various ones for sale, some are reflective and some are not. 

I have bought a set of the reflective ones, but not got round to fitting them yet.

They do 'look' reflective in the box !!

Neil300h, where did you get yours?  There are a couple of UK sellers but tbh they look the same so no reflection?

Let me know. 

[Neil300H]

I don't know the seller as I was given them by a friend who also did not get around to fitting them!

Are there no reflectors in the main rear light unit?

[Chunky1234]

If you have rear reflectors fitted as standard then they must remain.  So if you install these then they must be reflective too, even though they illuminate when on.....  that is my understanding and will be picked up at MOT.

As I said I have something similar fitted to my current CT and they are fully reflective.  In fact they reflect more than the stock ones I took off!  My current car, soon to be replaced has gone through 3 MOT's and never failed.

I guess I will just keep an eye out and wait for our friends in China to produce them with reflective qualities.

Out of interest, are you able to post of pic of the lights on  your CT?

[Chunky1234]

Hi DanD, these are the ones I have fitted to my CT.  As you can see from the image they are fully reflective.
