![]() I have also seen many EcoSport which are fitted with LED strips in place of the reflectors. That a major automaker like Hyundai started it makes me wonder how the regulatory requirements are being made redundant.ĭuring my recent drive through the highways, especially in the two-laned sections, I have had multiple occasions when I couldn’t make out the presence of cars due to lack of reflectors and sadly, most of them were from the Hyundai stable. This practice has now turned into a menace where people are more concerned about some fancy lights more than practicality and safety. This atrocious practice needs to be dealt with by the traffic law enforcement folks strongly. Here's what BHPian ABHI_1512 had to say on the matter: It is in these instances that the reflector indicates the presence of the vehicle to oncoming drivers.īecause of unawareness, our car owners are installing this unnecessary and unlawful accessory in big numbers.Īnd also these LED lamp accessories are imported from China, we can easily save this drain of our money to China. By removing it and installing in its place LED type, car owner's think it's a fancy item but this is a risky and illegal thing, especially when the car is parked in dark, is off and unattended / lights aren't turned on or there's been an electrical failure. The reflector on the rear bumper is a regulatory requirement and is an important safety feature of vehicles. The rear bumper-mounted reflector is replaced by an LED lamp. Starting from Hyundai Creta and presently Maruti Wagon R, many many car owners are installing this accessory. ![]() I want to bring to your notice this important topic, please help me to educate more and more Indian car owners to not go for this type of modification. ![]() Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP share page! Thanks to Aditya Pathak for sending this in.
