Well, last time my D3 went in (July 2013) it had one LED sidelight and one filament sidelight, they remarked on it but it wasn't a fail. Graham

Ours passed. I have led sidelights, and they flicker on start, so I thought that might give game away |

Mine was failed on the MOT at the dealers due to the flicker on startup - however the service department exchanged them for standard bulbs, sorted the test and just told me about it when i collected the car - handing me my LED sidelight bulbs back. |

Thanks for the replies. Given my track record with the MD, I'll change them back to OE before the test... and it will fail on something else anyway |

Before fitting them, the research I'd done said all of these LED bulbs should pass the MOT. However, I was wary about main dealers maybe making an issue of them, hence this post. To save comment/ advisories and/or the prospect of something like the Dave699 'fail', I'll present the car with the OE bulbs in. I can swap them in under an hour but can't risk/ afford the time/ inconvenience of potential repeat dealer trips for a re-test |
