not sure if this is electrical or tech so can a mod move it if needed.

i want to change the tail lights on my zook so i dont break them and get done by the bacon on the way home.
is it legal to stick some trailer lamps on the read door? ive seen a few zooks like this before but not sure if its legal or not?

not sure if there is a minimum size for tail light and indicators,

all i know, is there are set measurements they have to be, and from what i recall my engineer telling me, they are to be no more than 1500mm form the ground, and at least 600mm apart, you also have to have eflectors if your new tail light assembly does not have them built in,

yeh i knew about the 1500mm from the ground bit, i was only going to move them about 200mm up from the original bumper.
didnt know about the 600mm apart bit, thanks for that ;)
do you think the reflector bit would be a problem if it didnt have any?

not really unless you wet for a pink or blue slip an you had an inspector that really did know the ruels and followed them 100%, but he would have to nitice first,

of if your gwetting it engineered he might notice, casue the guy i used checked mine,
