Does anyone know if these are legit?

Yep and it also doesn't allow anyone driving past your parallel park to see you when you're reversing.

exactly why I would have expected the reverse light to be on the RHS.

Indeed. Exactly why it is in the UK.

Hey ended up getting these lights from a fellow forumer so if anyone wanted to get the eBay ones then go for it.

if the only reason to get these are the fact they are darker, then thats pretty stupid. a light tint would do the exact same job.

[BTJ]

Sorry Kam but a light tint would be completely different in look and I believe has some legal implications too!

as you can see the casing on these is clear and the inserts around the lights are black. Not like a tint at all.

The good news for you is that you don't have to buy them if you dont like them.

Correct tinting is ILLEGAL and was discussed previously in one of the threads.

Not to mention tinting looks like S**t!

thought I'd read it before.

To me $250 for a set of genuine headlights is really not that big a deal. I guess some people have different tastes/budgets.
