Cheap and cheap for a very good reason. NOT ROAD LEGAL


They do not carry an APPROVAL mark as required by UK Vehicle Lighting Regulations

Also by UK Vehicle Lighting Regulations you are only allowed ONE indicator per side at the front of a vehicle.

Not having road legal lights apart from it being an offence under section 66 of the RTA to supply, fit or use a defective item you are more then likely in breach of your motor insurance policy and run the risk of it being voided.

My advice would be to either upgrade wiring loom, bulb/reflector or save until you can afford ROAD LEGAL LED headlights.

Thanks brendan for the help, will probably wait to change the headlights then and spend money elsewhere on the truck

Assuming you have the original quad optics (with the textured lens) then a great cheap upgrade is wipac crystals and a relay loom to bypass the shockingly bad standard switch!
