i had adr approved on my old vt, it depends on the cop you get. i got done for speeding and she looked at my tail lights and said they are NOT legal, i said yes they are theyre adr approved, she said she doesnt have a problem with them but another officer might. take your own risk i suppose, personally go the s2 lights with a calais garnish cant get much better looking than that

Aslong as they r black they'll always look good :)

make sure they have their own relectors on them tho, if they dont then yes they r illegal.

i have heard that LED tail lights are illegal if they do not come stock on the car, like the new toyota hiluxs

is this true or am i able to buy a set of tail lights that are led and i wont have a problem with the police

good edit

doesn't matter cops will hassle you for being young and driving a vt/vx

i'm 46, you should see what cops go through to pull me over and i'm doing nothing wrong

apparently all dark commodores with tinted windows are prime suspect for, either drug use or selling drugs


dumb ####s :rofl2:

looks aside (since thats where the threads going), as wraith said as long as their approved by the ADR's they should be okay. Most of the dark tinted lights aren't but some are if you can find them..

Ive had one of the head police officers from where i live pull me over and he commented on how good they look. :S .. He says he thinks there a good idea coz if one LED blows you still have another 20 odd to keep the light working lol.. He didnt mind but i wouldnt go showing them off to them lol

They must with the ADRs with colors and luminescence (most do). You also need to consider the car they are going onto as it is a requirement that cars have red colored reflectors facing rearwards to help with approaching cars seeing them when it's dark. The tail lights depicted above will fail this test. Fit them to a VX that has reflectors fitted to the rear bumper and you should be fine. Just because the police don't book you for it doesn't mean it isn't legal.
