Hi All

My S is having it's 1st MOT next week

I have LED side lights .They are supposed to be white , but they do have a v slight blue tinge

Would this fail my MOT and ,therefore, do you think I would be better switching back to standard bulbs before the car goes to the garage ? ( though I would rather not and save the skin on my knuckles )

Any advice appreciated
Thanks

 

It'll be down to the tester(how strict he feels) whether it passes or not, when my last car was done it had ultra bright white leds fitted and I had no problems even with Mr Pernickety tester on the case.

 

As long as they're not totally BLUE ... you'll be fine. Anything that is more white than blue will be fine.

 

You'll be fine.

 

As long as they are proper led not shitty ebay ones yould get on a xmas tree you'll be fine.

Fyi on Monday I had my mot, I have led sidelights with a slight blue tint passed no problem.

 

I got reasonably non-shitty ebay jobbers and took it back to ADH Portsmouth for its last MOT - sailed throught but "your brake pads are down to 30%" funny old thing!

Needless to say, 54K service is being done tomorrow at TGM and the MOT will be by my local garage at mates' rates...

 

When i mean ebay shitty ones i mean the whiteplastic ones that emit a blue light and really look like 20p LED's lol.

I have the warden_jp ones, so far so good.

 

I have 10LED cluster sidelights and passed MOT fine
