So those of you that have these lights already, is it worth the risk putting them on?

find me where mud flaps are required on sedan's with low ground clearance
i think you'll find they're more a requirement for higher cars like 4wd's etc.

Traffic Operations (Road Use Management) Act.

(2) However, subsection (1)(a) does not apply to a vehicle if-- (a) the construction or use of the vehicle makes the fitting of mudguards unnecessary or impracticable; or (b) the body or part of the body of the vehicle acts as a mudguard. Examples for subsection (2)(a)-- 1 pole-type trailers used to carry timber 2 most road-making plant 3 some agricultural equipment (3) A mudguard fitted to a vehicle with a GVM over 4.5t must, when the wheels of the vehicle are in position to move straight ahead-- (a) reduce the danger of a person contacting the moving wheels; and (b) for the rear wheels-- (i) cover the overall tyre width of the wheel or wheels to which it is fitted; and (ii) be fitted so the height above ground level of the lowest edge of the rear of the mudguard is not over one-third of the horizontal distance between the edge and the centre of the rearmost axle.

For victoria:
hxxp://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/rsc...20Part%20A.htm Mudflaps are not normally required on passenger car type vehicles. However, mudflaps must be in place on vehicles where they form part of the wheelguard system such as on some motor bikes, heavy vehicles and vehicles with a tray type body. For passenger cars the tyre section width at the top of the tyre must be covered when the wheels are in the straight ahead position. For motorcycles, side cars and trikes, guards must cover the tyre section width.

Yeah, heaps of the road laws are.
we discussed earlier the requirements of the lights from state to state, its ridiculous to have different laws a mere 1000km's from one major city to the next.

Well until I get pulled over and defected I won't be sticking reflectors or tinting or anything...
I can't see them as being dangerous either.
