I ordered these-

but then thought, maybe they are illegal to use in the UK?

are they seen as gay?

i had ordered them as i started commuting into london and would like some side visibility

Not sure myself, but i got reflective rimtape that would make me more visible in car headlights at night. Maybe if they are that could be an option for you. I suppose you could just go to a police station and ask maybe?

Gay and naff... You did ask :-)

haha ok, my niece can have them

Ah, the simply wonderful Grayson Perry, what a guy.
Here he is in his leathers:

You could try these blue ones: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Long-Wheel-Valv ... B002P7YJB2 They might make car drivers think there was an emergency services vehicle coming and clear a path for you when you're filtering

I doubt you would get busted for using valve lights. You might get stopped and told to take them off by one copper but not the next. I think there was a change in the law recently to stop all those lights that people put under their cars but I can't be certain.

Riding at a certain speed might also have the affect of inducing a fit in anyone who sees them as the lights pass behind front forks/mud guard etc. and produce a strobe effect, but this is unlikely.

I should point out that I'm not a lawyer so if you end up giving everyone a fit and then get arrested for having bulbs on your wheels it's not my fault

Let us know how the ones you got look when you're using them.

They are definitely illegal. Used to see them everywhere then all of a sudden just stopped seeing them. Either that or everyone just grew up a little bit
Dont know if that would apply to these though.

Any lights on your vehicle that aren't complient with the Law (clear front, red rear/Brake, amber/orange indicators) and you could be asking for trouble, it only takes one of her majestys finest police officers to be having a rare off day and you could be getting points and a fine.

However I can't see too many being that fussed, as anything that makes you more visible and less likely to be in an accident has to be a good thing.
