What do you have to do to the lights to make them legal over here. I was toying with the idea of european spec lights, but wasn't sure whether I would have to add a filter of something in order to get a white light for the reverse.

You dont need a reverse light apparently. So its not illegal to not have one. The alternative for you coupe owners tho is to get the side thats got the revers light in already and get a red bulb for the foglight.

Ahhhh, might give that a go! Don't think many people go down the 2 reversing light route.
Thanks.

somebody source some and we'll see if we can get a group buy together.
I think it'd look well smart.

Yeah thats right, as the lense doesn't have to be red. As long as it shines red then that's fine.
