it is a legal requirement that you have a reflector on the back of your car its a fail safe if your lights fail. It wont pass an mot without them (strictly speaking, most mot guys will probably ignore or not even check for reflector)

If you get pulled you might get lucky and just get a warning or you might get a producer or even an mot producer.

Up to you you could try and be inventive with the reflectors or you could just leave them off and you may never get bothered

I've had my black magic lights for well over a year and a half now, never put the reflectors or foglight on. Just swap the lights over for the mot , maybe its luck i don't know, but i've even had police cars following me and they didn't stop me. Its up to you.

better to say you rather than you hadnt i think.

Its totally up to you, your breaking the law, ok not a major law or anything but if your willing to do the crime then you have to do the time tosmileys/smiley17.gif

Yeh i bought lexus lights from a guy in dundee and i got the box with them 'second hand. There was no reflectors in the box and i never knew that until now, but there already is reflector within the lexus lights isnt there? its round and looks like it would light up, maybe im wrong.

You just have to chance your luck with the police, i live in an alright area of arbroath and the blues dont mind. I can see them being bastards in other areas just to stop u tho

Business view - Fit them

Personal view - leave them off
