Are yellow led's ilegal for road use?

[hakhawk]

Yeah I think the older commies are clear. VT onward have the standard globes with an orange coating.

I want the led globes so I wont have to replace them...
Neally every standard globe on the car blew last winter

vr started with the orange globe im pretty sure.

the globes themselves is the problem, they need to pass adr's and such to be "legal", have enough light output, etc.

but if they light up enough during the day, you should be fine. ive got leds in every spot on my clear tail lights, and the brake specifically light up more red than the tinted globes. ive stayed with normal globes for the front indicators, as theyre too dull for my liking(this is similar globes to the ones youve shown, i use some bigger, better ones for the rear)

Thanks for that

Is it possible you could show me an a pic of the indicators youve got in the rear, and where I can get brighter ones?
Also how do you find the white reverse led's? They bright enough?

hmm, i havent got a pic of them in the car, thought i did.

the led reverse lights arent bad, light up a fair bit at night. could be more white, but you get what you pay for with white leds.

these are what i got for reverse, in white

and a 20 led version for brake and indicators.

i "think" these pics were with the 20 led globes, but is also with my custom clear tail lights.

Seems even the ones on ebay are all yellow

that quite clearly says amber, not yellow.

Yep amber is the go:thumbsup:

Though I must say theyd have to be excellent quality for that price:yeah:

what are you on?

why would they be yellow? 5 times in the auction the word "amber" appears, the word "yellow" doesn't appear once!

btw, I've bought LEDs for my car off ebay before, and had 10 or so blow within 6 months!!!

I no longer have parker lights, and no longer have dash lights! haha!

The yellow ones are fine.. they actually flash amber!

I've got them in my car.
