dash lights, legality?...

Post by 574lk3r »

ive just "installed" some new dash lights for my speedo etc,
my old bulbs had gone...
i thought i was getting some nice pretty coloured ones but it turns out they are colour changing,
looks like a fireworks party at a disco...
question is.. are they legal?

Oooh I bet that's weird. I suppose they're all out of sync too?

I wouldn't have thought they'd be illegal, you can have whatever colour dash lights you want as long as you can read the instruments. Some cars have selectable colours.
