Look great  :congrats: Is it legal? (will people know that you are actually reversing at night?)  Is it still bright enough when reversing? (not that they are very bright anyway)

Those poxy reversing lights are crap at lighting up the road behind. I think the only use they have is letting others know you are reversing.

Looks far better in red  :happy2:

Looks good Andy, I noticed your VW badge/ badgeless mods too!   :smiley:

Like you said, I'm sure they don't test reverse lights in an MOT.  :happy2:

Don't think it is tested, but it is there to indicate to other road users that you are reversing,
Not sure how an insurance company would view it if someone crashed into you?  :smiley:
