Subject:Re: smoked tail lights
From:David Marshall <mailinglist@FASTFORWARD.CA>

Legal in the European Union and Canada is different than legal in the
USA

For the USA, any light must have SAE or DOT markings on
them - period.

For the EU they must have the E-code mark on
them.

For Canada E-code, SAE and DOT are all legal.� (I
love Canada!)

The MTS smoked and clear lights only have e-code
markings on them.
