Afternoon guys,

 

I recently took the plunge and got myself a 300ZX. It came with the Ferrari tail light conversion. One thing I noticed was that there doesn't appear to be any reverse lights at all!

 

I've heard a few whispers that Reverse lights are not part of the MOT but it seems a bit wierd not to have them!

 

Is this something I can safely ignore (Except when reversing maybe) or should I investigate getting something put in.

 

Cheers Guys!

...had an MOT today and I don't think that the reversing lights were part of the test. Question, have you an MOT certificate that's younger than the receipt for the new back lights. If you have then you should be ok.

 

Good luck

its not an mot failure btw, fix them at your leisure hey!

Rear lights are not compulsory. I havent had any for years & it always passes MOT...

Cheers guys.

 

I bought the car with the MOT and the lights had been done well before that. I just wasn't sure that the seller hadn't blagged it through a dodgy MOT to sell it on. If he got away with that, then what other surprises would I have in store!

 

Good to hear though, Perhaps I'll stick a fog horn in or something when I put her into reverse....

The MOT I had on wednesday - talking to the guy there and he'd failed a Z (it was parked out side having a miss-fire sorted) because the owner had a stick-on carbon fibre panel (over the original back lights) with holes cut in it to allow the lights to work. But if you look at the back lights they have a reflector in them - so when it's parked at night in an unlit street, approaching cars can see it co the reflectors. The failed Z had these covered up co the carbon fibre panel.

 

So what the owners done is buy 2 stick-on reflectors and stuck them to the rear bumber to pass the MOT...

 

Has your got rear reflectors?

 

cheerz
