When did that go up from £30?

Not that it matters, because anyone who willingly fits self-abuser lights deserves everything they get anyway.

As Most new cars now have daytime running lights (some of which are Blue tint LED's) the police probably wouldnt even bother stopping you. If worried stick some standard ones back in. ;)

because one of the side lights on SWMBO's car is such a bugger to get at, I replaced them with led type. Unfortunately they are a lot bluer than I wanted, but they stayed in due to the hassle of fitting them. I specifically as my MOT tester about them, he said he wasn't bothered about side lights, just headlights.  ;)

I have always believed that the £60 jobbies are endorsable, and I know that a breach of C&U regs where lighting is concerned never used to carry points....I guess that's changed now so they can screw us for a little bit more  :(

Not always endorsable -

Play fair, and it often ends at paying the fine, and you have to take it on the chin that you have been a muppet, got caught, and are now (another) £60 lighter in the pocket.

If it keeps us safe, and keeps the Police on the street, then I have no problem with it.

I think there should be a £60 fine for fitting blue lights to the outside of your house, too.

I find any flashes of blue light on the road distracting. I start wondering what I've done wrong now where the ambulance is coming at me . ;)
