Would I get done for green daytime running lights?

[SVS]

Yes, I know that lights at the front should be white or yellow. We're increasingly living in a sea of daytime running lights, however, so nobody notices my bike's headlight. Enter these ...

Could any BiB give an unofficial, informal opinion?



In reality, would I get done for using them?

You haven't seen how colour coordinated I am. These lights go nicely with my green leather suit

Will you get done?

I would hope so.

Go for pink instead.

I think you'll find that green lights are only allowed to be used by doctors on emergency calls.

Don't encourage the OP with the pink suggestion and I hope he gets done for the illegal lights along with all the other idiots with small willies.

Illegal how? I have a big willy btw, as I am a big man.

Only mentions green beacons? And DRL's aren't beacons.

Plus let's not forget to mention that the colour displayed by these things and such as washer jets and so on has some peculiar coded meaning for the gay community, apparently.

Has your fuel tank got sp**k on it?

It mentions that running lamps must emit a white light..

7. Colour:
White or, if incorporated in a headlamp which is capable of emitting only a yellow light, yellow

Fair point.

There was something along these lines in the Commercial Break forum. IIRC the outcome is that so long as they dont flash they're okay.

Instead of making your bike look like a fking Christmas tree just get a decent LED Daytime addition to your headlamp.
