Headlights /Side Lights question

roady rhodes

Hi all

Bit of a newb when it comes to this sort of stuff.

Ive just changed the main headlights on my Peugeot partner to osram night breakers. So now they are white but my side lights are yellow.Is this legal?

Now when I'm driving Ive got both white headlights and yellow side lights on which doesn't seem right.

Is there a way to not have my side lights come on with my headlights on this vehicle?

Thanks in advance

Side lights also known as parking lights or position lights give very low level of lighting, so I can't seem how could anyone even notice the difference.

Appreciate your quick reply, thank you.

You could always get white bulbs for the side lights too, think those are w5w bulbs, here's a selection...

Nothing illegal. Your parking lights aren't even yellow, they are just a different colour of white.

Some LED pricing light bulbs would do the trick. They can look a bit chavvy though if they're too blue looking.

(2) The colour of the light shown by the lamps shall be white or yellow but all lamps shall as nearly as possible show light of the same colour.

I seen someone with green sidelights the other day. I wonder if the guards even bother pulling them over.
