I dont think they have to be vertical, only the fog light. There are a lot of cars on here that would have failed if they had to be vertical...

They do need to meet the visablity regulations though.

Don't need to be vertical, only the fog and the reverse I think if you've got one fitted.

I've heard some people have had problems with the reflectors on the rear lights not reflecting enough light when sitting at an angle, but people have passed SVA with their rear lights sitting at an angle.
I guess it just a case of how much angle you have on them.

Definately rear fog and reverse and there is always a debate about reflectors.
Best to mount the lot vertical until.

My reflectors weren't vertical and yours were. We both passed, go figure

No reverse needed for sva. Rear lamps are sloping on mine, Sva man stuck reflectors on the rear wing under the lights as I didn't have any and passed it.
