Red Angel eyes legal?

Hey Guys,

I have this space grey meets red meets black theme going on my car!

Right now I have 8000k angel eyes but I'm thinking to get 3000k Devil eyes.

Do you know if it's road legal?

Thanks!

You could just install knackered Xenon bulbs - they turn red when they come to the end of their life

Perhaps if you had them for shows etc but as a general use on the road, your asking for trouble, just stick with the led white

No offence, red colour in your avatar looks good, but not red eyes.

You can have this kit to put on the car when you go to watch matches

I'm pretty sure some US members like that OSS guy have multi changing angel eyes if i'm not mistaken so you could have e.g. red ones when your drivign around and then change the color to white for MOT's. I'm sure there were pics of his latest 5 series project where in one pic the angel eyes were blue and in another they were white or something and in the thread he said they were multi changing? Coudl be wrong but worth looking into maybe.
