ye but your reverse lights only illuminate when going backwards to highlight your vehicle is reversing and showing others.
The numberplate is also illuminated but does not distract other road users and lets the forces that be what your reg is. Them side lights could be seen as distracting road users and be against the law. If illuminated red like what my old BMW 330 had then you will be fine, as it stands im sure this is illegal mate.
you could get away with orange possibly? i've seen volvos with orange side lights not sure if they were on the front tho. Could of been on the front with LED red ones on the back, sure the V70 is like this.

Paul, I think yours have the Chrome surround. But thanks for the compliments
Rick - We are having a 'light off' on the 30th remember. That'll show those TVR drivers

Unless you make your front side markers work, it'll look odd. Not really, but it's a new challenge.
Plus, don't use those nasty insulated crimps from Halfords; they are notoriously unreliable. Get some grown-up ones from Maplin or somewhere.
