What it is
F1 lights are inspired by the rear rain light used in Formula 1. On a road car, they are an add-on light unit fitted at the rear, often linked to the car’s existing lighting.
There are different styles and ways of wiring them in, and what works depends on the car and how its lighting is controlled. Many modern cars monitor their bulb circuits, so the wiring needs doing carefully to avoid warning lights or faults.
Lighting is covered by rules on how vehicles must be lit, so it is worth talking through the options for your car before choosing a unit.
When to book it
- You like the F1 light look and want one fitted to your car
- You have bought a unit and want it wired in properly
- A previously fitted light has stopped working or causes warnings
- You want advice on which style suits your car

Questions answered
Can an F1 light be fitted to any car?
Most cars can take one, but the mounting position and wiring vary. Bring the details of your car and it can be talked through.
Will it cause warning lights on the dash?
It can if wired carelessly into a monitored circuit. Fitting it properly for your car’s electrics is how that is avoided.
Do I need to tell my insurer?
Additional lighting is usually treated as a modification, so it is sensible to let your insurer know.
