right one of my rear bumper lights have gone out so needs replacing...
was just wondering is there anyway of putting a different bulb in instead of a standard white bulb.

also has anyone got pictures of their sax with them?

thanks in advanced marcus

you may get away with a red bulb since its the rear, but it will stand out a treat and is likely to get you pulled, so check first.

orange green blue purple and other colours that make up the rainbow are a giant no no, especially blue, you will defo get pulled for that and u wont really have much of an excuse...

Any other colour than white is illegal, maybe the very slightest tint of blue but other than that your impersonating an emergency vehicle
