Hi im going to order some ultrabright LED rear lights mix and match, Have done a search and im now confused as to what to do, basically to cut a long story short do i need reflectors at the rear?

I am thinking of having this setup but as you will see no reflectors although i could add some to the rear panel if required, will this be ok for IVA



Description

Thanks Greg

99% sure you need reflectors

reflectors are needed if they arent built into the lights you buy. Be careful of making sure they have radiused edges if they protude more than 5mm i think it is

Ok thanks guys for the extra couple of quid i will order a set of reflectors as well, i will also be using the carbon fibre effect housings so radiuses hopefully shouldn't be a problem

just out of interest what lights are they?

Ultrabright LED Mix and match range on this page about 1/4 of the way down the page linky
not working out very locost, but look the nuts!!

so you gonna get separate reflectors?

how about ditching the chrome ring - does nothing apart from adding excess weight and make reverse/fog one unit and have relefecotr outer ring on tail lamp, for example?

That setup would work really well, but as far as I can tell reverse/fog lights only come as inners and not outer so would not work unless I'm missing something?

Why not get the stop and tail outer light combination and use an outer reflector on the outer lights.
if you see what I mean.

the lights are well worth the money, i've got stop tail inners and indicator outers. look really good mounted flush.

try and get some stick on reflecters then it wont leave any holes when they fall of after IVA

heres my rear lights all led, have 2 complete sets so may use the second fog as a 3rd brake, and keep the 2nd reverse as a spare.
