Flashing Side Lights via Canbus test.. Jan 25, 2022 10:07:22 GMT 1

Post by j3fx on Jan 25, 2022 10:07:22 GMT 1

Good morning

can i ask a question i have LED Error free Lights fitted in my 2008 Vectra C which when i turnoff ignition they flash for approx 30sec on the canbus bulb test . these have been fitted for couple of year..

my Car failed its MOT yesterday for these and they stated that the Front Position lamp adversely affected by the operation of another lamp flashing (4.2.3(c)) yet when the side light on they fully 100% light up and work ,

yet the same bulbs in my number plate that do the same they marked as advisory have i got grounds to contest this major so called fault when its not a fault

any advice please

There is no reason for rejection regards the same happening with the registration plate bulbs .

Another lamp would need to be tuned on along with proof that another lamp was having a negative impact on the side light .
It sounds to me that the tester has got it wrong if he can’t demonstrate the above .

Apart from going back and challenging the tester to demonstrate why he’s failed it for example WHICH LAMP it is that’s causing the issue ,if he can’t then the best he can or should of done is pass it and put an advisory on it ,you can always go back and ask them for an appeal form .

If it was me I’d just put the standard bulbs back in or try another test station .

Thanks for the question by the way 😀
