Technically only for use off-road . Red flashing rears are only available to designated vehicles on the highway under the Lighting regs 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Out of interest (and sorry for the hijack) but would these be road legal if they were amber/orange ??
Or would that fall into authorised persons allowed to use orange rotating beacons ??

Caus I like red
Seriously .. I work on a lot of construction sites / power stations / distribution centers / airports etc .. Most require some sort of warning beacon / strobes .
Technically they are not on the public highways...
I have some orange ones aswell to go on the front .. When I find time to fit themG4 Gone ...but not forgotten
Cool,
Got orange once in my rear window for same reasons. Also acts as additional warning above brake & hazards when M62 goes from 70 to 0 in seconds, & the clowns behind dont notice!
Never thought about the bumper reflector, hmm may have a play this weekend!The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

What brand LEDs are they wiggs ?
They seem very neat & slim, fitting in well with the reflector. The ones I have would be too big to give such a nice fit.

Same as what they use on the D3 highway agency vehicles ...they normally mount them just above the reflector ( you can get a nice rubber surround for them )
I did not want a big hole when i sold the car so did some measuring and they would fit nice next to the reflector .
Just need to buy 2 new reflectors ( about £1.80 each ) to put back when i get rid of the car
How easy (or difficult...) is it to have LED's like this connected to the hazards...?The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

You would have to use the hazzard switch to turn on the LED 's . If you just took power from the indicators ...the LED's would come on when you turned a corner G4 Gone ...but not forgotten
