LIDLs clearly state that these are NOT for road use - just display purposes!!

It is illegal to show blue lights on your vehicle - you will get stopped and fined!!

Be warned!!

Hmm - when I bought my current scoob a few months ago, it had slightly tinted blue headlights/sidelights. Not sure what they are exactly, but walking up to the car from a distance they quite visibly have a blue tint to them.

Passed the MOT last week?

The refractive index of the blue light also melts the plastic lens!!

The cables then melt and the heat affects the air entering the MAF, this then weakens the fuel/air mixture and that knocks out number 3 bigend bearing on the outer 2mm of the upper cervex complex surface and a re-build will be required.

Knocklink would sort that out, or if not a couple of drops of Octane additive

I had blue/white bulbs in my old car and never got stopped, all new cars come with those bulbs.......... such as BMW and Audi etc........

So they can put one rule for 1 person and another for another.....
