Has your car passed or failed it's MOT with aftermarket LED bulbs fitted?

Hoping to avoid removing them all and replacing the OE bulbs this time.

Cheers Stan... can't be bothered!

Mines just gone through no bother, the MOT guy saw the front sidelight flash when the cold monitoring went off, he thought the FF was winking at him !!!

He didn't say anything and it did pass..... Pete

Mine passed with LEDs in the front, and rear, and 100W bulbs in the spot lights

11 passes at least so far and no fails. All good. Cheers

I've got LED sidelight, front fog light and reverse light bulbs, had its MOT last October and passed no problem.

The only reason that Led bulbs could cause a failure on the MOT is colour, as long as you have white light at the front and red at the rear with Amber for the indicators, there is no reason to fail your car. If you had, for example, Blue in the front side lights, not only will your car fail the MOT but the Boys in Blue will also be very keen to talk to you as well. And then there are those Muppets that fit Red to the front side lights, that's a fail, nick, and accident waiting to happen, or maybe they just can't make their minds up as to whether they are coming or going  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

I only got an advise on it but not a fail. If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

^^ Advise ? Why ? your bulbs may out last the car ? or were they a bit too blue for his liking? Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

1 person failed on that poll... what was the reason poller?

I haven't done the pole, because I have yet to get an MOT on the FFRR, however I will say that with confidence that it will pass. Might involve an argument and phone calls to VOSA, but there is no way that you'd be able to convince me that fitting a bulb that is virtually indestructible, and has an expected life that exceeds all other bulbs and most cars, is not road worthy. And I don't think I'd back down
To be honest I can see it going the other way, and they become a requirement, due to their longevity and the clarity of the light that they produce


Plus with their wide voltage range and low current requirements, they are a must for anyone with iffy earths...... Used to drive a defender 110, every light on that was a dull orange, bad earths on every panel Led's would have been an instant fix. Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
