I think it was this bit:

Quote:De glazen van de lichtarmaturen mogen niet zodanig zijn beschadigd, gerepareerd of bewerkt dat de lichtopbrengst en het lichtbeeld dan wel de functie nadelig worden beïnvloed.

Which would translate that they are not allowed to be damaged, repaired or modified to limit the amount of light emitted and influence its function in a negative way. As the brake light and fog light both were on the outer side of the Fresnel lens, they would give a distorted light that wouldn't be focused. So yeah, not according to spec and quite open for interpretation whether they influence the working in a negative way.

Cheaper to buy new? Buy new.
Cheaper to paint? Paint.

I like that simple rule. They are definitely not cheaper to buy new or get second hand including shipping, so maybe I should powder coat them after all.
