Facelift LED rear lights question

[maxpayne]

Hi Everyone,
Received my facelift LEDs a few days ago. While I wait for the loom to arrive from Germany I had a quick question:

Do the lights once fitted but not coded work in a legal manner? Is it just the LED part that doesn't light up , so brake lights will still work?

I ask because it's likely that I will have to go on a short drive to my nearest VCDS buddy and don't want to get stopped by the plod.

Thanks.

Hi mate i did mine recently and on mine the brake lights were on at the same time as the sidelights if you do it during the day you will probably be ok mate
