Purchased "smoked" LED tail lights, possible defec

Postby lawrencepartington » Sat Oct 11, 2014 10:39 am

Are these going to get me a defect? My friend bought them for me as an early birthday present and they are still coming in the mail...

I'm already a P-plater, so i dont want every cop to pull me over to ask me about them or try and defect me.

Anyone with any experience with smoked tail lights, led tail lights or defects your opinion will be greatly appreciated!

As far as I'm aware, if there isn't an 'E-Mark' stamp on the lights somewhere, it is not Australian Design Rules approved. Not too sure if those from Mars Performance are ADR approved though.

However, with that being said, there are a fair few members who run aftermarket taillights without any issues E-Mark or not.

Bottom line, I reckon you shoud be fine :)

I think you will be fine. Brake/tail lights should be clearly visible so all good.

Yeah you will be fine I drove around in both my VRX and EVO with night shaded (tinted) tail lights on my P plates and had no issue, as long as the light visibly clear you Shalst be right

I've had smoked taillights for a while too and never had issues. Yeah, as long as the brake lights are visible during the day, you should be fine.
