An Audi was stopped in Glasgow for having pink side lights prompting officers to issue a warning to drivers.

The Road Policing team pulled over the grey A3 car on Tuesday, July 21, after they noticed the front lights were not the usual white colour.

Following this stop on Darnley Road in Strathbungo, the team have decided to warn other road users that all front headlights, with the exception of indicators, need to be either white or yellow in colour.

This is a requirement under the UK's Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "All obligatory front lights (excluding indicators) must emit a white or yellow light. Any other colour (including pink!) are strictly prohibited at the front of a vehicle."
