Compulsory Car Hazard Warning Lights from 1st Jan 2026

[bobley]

If you have a car in Mallorca, as Disorderly just pointed out on another thread, dont forget you need a V16 DGT approved warning light.

They're €45 in big Eroski, Alcampo and Leroy Merlin... but they're £20 on amazon

Bobley,
Are you sure the Amazon ones are approved by the DGT ?

oh cr##. I think you're correct.

Not all Osram V16 lights are the same. You need a V16 IoT (internet of things). Oh well €45 it is

The 'internet connected' ones start at 75€ for two on Amazon or 40€ for one. On the DGT website there is a list of approved makes and models.
