Re: Lights....

Currently it totally depends on the person doing the MOT as there are set limits for light output so it's up to them to decide if it's bright enough.
It's easy and cheap enough to pull off and redo once a year.

Re: Lights....

You're not talking about the BRABUS lights at the front, where the silver is painted in an almost black effect?

Re: Lights....

the mot testers guide says.........

Reason for fail - Not visible from a reasonable distance due to excessive damage, deterioration, or having products on the lens or light source

so the films are ok.

fly eyes kits actually come with a reassuring note saying that the product WILL pass an MOT.

front fogs and sidelights done on my forfour......passed for last 2 years





and rears left done....right not....





and light transmissions is still excellent with flyeyes....(pic taken in July in good light at 7pm)





obviously there are much classier tint films available but the fly eyes is cheap and cheerful and v easy to work with
