i've had a few imports through that are going to be here for some time, whereby the DOT and DVLA require proof of adaptation of lighting being converted for use on our roads. i.e.r/hand drive light units fitted, speed in mph etc..

to my certain knowledge motors are being imported and not converted,one guy uses the same set of headlights to get all his yank pickups thru sva/mot then refits the lhd ones and he probably aint the only guy doing it,others just get moody tickets so they can be sold,the guidance on the ministry blog is that we fail em for not meeting eu lighting specs with no suggestion of where the hell we find that little gem under lamp aim on mts.

Thanks Rob,,ill fail on No kick up as it isn't in the right place,this car as been in the uk some time,its been tested since 2010 & that is when it failed on kick up to os since then its not failed on headlights so im guessing they haven't been tested properly,,the last garage to do the mot was a NATIONAL chain wink wink

Push it back onto the ball and then fail it for likely to become detached?

But, yes, it's ridiculous.
