phillips globes

hey has anyone tried phillips diamond vision headlight bulbs. i bought i set, only to find that they r supposed to be illegal. R they really that bright and would it be an obvious modification that could get me done by the cops? I dont wanna open the box unless i know a little bit more about them. cheers

Well that's a contradiction in terms. To be legal, they'd have to be ADR approved, as fair as i know.

They are not legal. As was said before to be legal they have to be ADR approved as far as I know. I had crystal vision, and they looked cool but were a good part of useless when the weather went south, diamond vision will be worse.

Will it be easy for cops to notice the "mod," **** yes. They stick out like dogs balls. I don't think it's ever likely to happen unless your doing something else to attract attention from the boys in blue...

My advice, do not open the box.
