so he was just someone like you putting in his random two cents when another person is only trying to help? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yes if there in your line of sight then there illegal.. & not to mention very easy to steal i'v got mine in the car, If you got them on the bonnet you need to be real careful where you park. Cas most likly the gauges wouldn't work if some little kids ripped them of.. But afew of my m8s have had it done to them.

different states, different laws, best bet is to contact your local roads authority and ask them directly!
