In the wet on the M8 driving into Glasgow this morning I followed a Black RRS with HST pipes, smoked rear light clusters and a Supercharged badge on the back over the Erskine Bridge and onto the eastbound motorway. I suspect it was a 2.7 TDv6 version of the S/C as it took an age to get it wound up to 70 as I followed him down the slip road and I was passed him pretty quickly after we joined the motorway, then he stormed passed as I was turning up the slip road to the airport. Although he was driving on dipped headlights and his rear lights were on, they were almost invisible - two tiny glimmers from about 75ft behind. Don't know if it's anybody on here - reg was S88 PLM, but smoked rear lights can hardly be seen at a safe distance - might look bright enough on the drive but out on a wet road they hopeless. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I believe they are illegal Tim. Pretty sure they are only supposed to be for show purposes only!

I must admit i have often wondered that they must be less visable  MY10 3.0 HSE Santorini Black, Ivory Premium & extended leather, privacy, paddles, diamond turned alloys, Ipod lead that charges, tasmods, rrsport.co.uk stickers

Followed a FFRR yesterday MY10 and must say the indicators were pretty hard to see when the brake light was on and that was without smoked glass

Just done a check, S88PLM is a S/C 1st Edition Year 10/06/2005

Smoked rear lights are illegal and can barely be seen. i wouldn't recommend them plus it with give the old bill yet another excuse to pull you over as they do to me on a regular basis over my privicy glass.
