    Out of curiosity, what are the legal ramifications of using the ultra bright LEDs as replacement reversing lamps. I know it's not legal to use halogen lamps but what about these?

    Just ordered this Ciaran.

    We use SMD LEDs as modelling lights on studio flash and they are ludicrously bright. This thing has 92 of the buggers on it. I should never reverse up the lawn again!

    I just want to see where the back wheel is going when I reverse in the dark. Which I thought was the whole point but most car manufacturers seem to disagree with.

    The last Audi I drove had a single KC Daylighter as a reversing light.

    It was an ex Hannu Mikkola, works group B Quattro though.
