    anyone know if headlight beam converters are still ok for mot, i know they were going to be introduced as a fail but i thought i wasnt until ajnuary next year

    cheers
     
  2. thought they were always officially a fail as there temporary change and dont give the kick up to the left on the beam tester that is required?

    us vans have sealed beam units, uk ones dont, i could fit selaed beam ones but i dont have all the fittings as the van came with no lights, will see what i can do
     
  7. the link I sent you means you just need to fit bulbs - I had so many kicking around in the shed it suited me, but they do full kits with all the bulbs included

    they are standard 7 inch light units if you need sealed beam halfords sell them, they are same size as mini or landrover etc.
