    how can something that is standard in new shape Lexus, Audi, BMW and Merc cars be illegal?

    the lights we are talking about are these :

    not the nean blue like bulbs that were the fashion years ago :D

    here is an example of what the blue/LED/xenon licence plate bulbs look like to whats standard on older cars : blue/LED/xenon on left, older standard on right

    depends on the bulb type, but you should be able to pick them up from ebay or www.hidirl.com

    pretty sure they'd be illegal, the bulbs would have to be white, I definitely know for sure you cant have green bulbs/lights anywhere on a car

    Surely the fact that they look crap would be reason enough not to put them in?
    The only cars that seem to have these are scrappers.

    That'd be an interesting drag alright. my car also has 200PS but I'm guessing it's lighter.

    i'd say you'd have to go to the UK for one, between people speccing up their regular Mondeos and the fact that they're so delicate, you'll have a fair job finding one.

    6v??

    200ps...I can't imagine it would give supercar performance in a Mondeao? Pleanty of go alright, but I reckon Colm's car would take it!!

    The green isn't my taste tbh, it just looks out of place or something
