Be alright until the sun shines on them.

Must say I do fancy a nice white strip of warning lamps

because metal is known to fade and delaminate? thought the whole point of metal ones was that the sun would have no effect?

I'm guessing Kitch is talking about reflection Vanny, but I may be wrong.

I don't see that being an issue though, assuming that is the angle of the post?

they look like an almost stainless finish so shouldn't reflect too ,uch, certainly no more than standard bx ones but god knows about the black and white ones, i guess they might be vinyl rather than painted metal?

Well I was reffering to the metal being relfective, possibly blinding you and causing you to crash into a school playground, then bursting in to flames.

But it was actually just a joke

They look pretty close with the exception of the already mentioned issues, but for £85 i'd want them perfect TBH.

Jay, there only machined out on a miller by the look of thinks so i suspect they can change them pretty each to get them right, maybe even change some things! hows about a k-light which is an M-light , m for motronic of course!
