As per the title, any issues with all red rear lights and the MOT?
I have read various posts about using green bulbs, anyone have any experience with them, or should I just swap them out to UK spec lenses.

Yeah I do think your best bet is to bite the bullet and shell out for the correct lenses. These look like good German quality and a better price than VW Heritage...shipping shouldn't set you back too much: http://www.vintagecarparts.de/artikel.php?set_shop...nr=RUEC3GR

VW Heritage here: https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/karmann-ghia/14194...StartRow=1

The MOT regs only allow the all red tail lights for pre '64 cars.
