Probably illegal.

I know 4x4 with 4 rear lights a few years ago were told they were illegal.

I had a Trooper, years ago, that came with four reversing lights fitted as standard.
At first service the bulbs were removed from two of the lights as you are only aloud two reversing lamps under uk law.
Having said that I am unsure as to how many red lights you are allowed to have.

As far as I am concerned the more lights you can have at the rear the better (so people can see you!!) so people cant use that as an excuse when they drive into the back of you...

Could look good Grant just as long as they are'nt huge.

Best make sure they are not brighter than your standard lights as they "could" look like a brake light.
