After much consideration of the LED's I have decided to take them off and put them on eBay. You guys convinced me and for that I am truly grateful. I really do not know how I would get by without you lot keeping me on the st8 and narrow. Thankyou sooooo much.

Funny when I read that I thought of W****R. PS What kind of sad w****r goes around putting an L to their forehead? Gay teen with too much time on their hands? Do let us know.

Well that was all a bit lively. Sometimes you peeps do slobber over some of the dullest, mundane, been covered a thousand times before topics that would not task a year 1 trainee mechanic - I thought the blue light thing would engage you. Public service really. Please show your...

Knuckle Shuffler more like it! LOL - no offence meant.

The blue light thing is getting quite strange, some lorries are lit up with enough blue lights to resemble xmas trees yet plod pick on someone with a blue interior light. I am Ok on that score as I am red interior lights - LED's of course. Better for nightvision and being an army Defender...

When off they do not appear to be blue flashing lights, that rulee is there to stop folks simply festooning the roof with faux blue lamps and giving the appearance of the Feds or whatever. All perfectly legal in my case. Simples - well for some maybe?

Guess I will just need a uniform from one of the below (wrong on the vets thing BTW) and a plausible story..... That or they are just for show... you know the one like at Peterboro' or Northampton. Bit like the army ones that still have defunct semi automatics and gun racks - just for show...

Blue Light Use

Lot of fondness for cock on here. You Boyz got the right site? As for the LED's - strictly for off road, but also perfectly legal if used by appropriate person. Vets for instance are OK as are blood transfusion service etc etc. Having them fitted is very different from having them...

Like the sound of 'cock' do you?

They are Whelen blue LED strobe units. Same as plod, vets and ............ (your name here).................

Not if you are in a hurry and folks is gettin all obstructive. Plod will understand takeaways need to arrive piping hot? No drama.

Edit: In response to one or two unfortunates for whom irony is something their wives do before putting their shirts away, these are strictly for show purposes and not for use on the highway. I am perfectly aware of the legalities of the rare little fellas.

FWIW I personally felt Nigel Gresham was very badly treated by the judicial process. The accident was totally unforeseen and the majority of the Crowns case was to paint a picture of the man and his car which was almost entirely irrelavant to the accident. The press and his wife had a...

Personally I reckon waxoyl is rubbish. I prepared and treated the chassis on my 110 two years ago perfectly - steam cleaned, wire brush etc and in much of it you would never know it had been touched. Go to a chandlers and get some proper paint, it will cost more but will deffo last at lot...

Fanatic His trailing arm snapped causing him to lose complete control of the car and end up in the dyke along with his children. He had seconds before swerved to avoid another motorist who he claimed (and I beleive) was on his side of the road. This swerve dropped the nearside road wheels...

That was the principle reason the fella in Lincolnshire went to jail - his trailing arm snapped albeit after he had welded it back together. Scary stuff and I would guess difficult to assess the condition. As these cars get older I wonder how many more have this hidden and lethal fault?

Same thing happened to me - centre of plate collapsed resulting in no tranferable drive. Very odd as it was nearly new Valeo unit. Replaced it with a Britpart HD version.

Are you sure they are illegal when used on high beam? I have owned a number of cars (Ford) where the spotlights are switched on via the main beam. All factory fit - maybe Ford did not know or understand the MOT or maybe you are wrong?

Another vote for Hella 3003. Mine have the outer ring covers sprayed matt black as they are silver normally. Very good lights and (touch wood) oblivious to stones even though they are glass and not sadly plastic.
