How
new MOT rules allow replacement LED headlight bulbs for classics
The new rules recognise
specifically approved replacements rather than giving every
LED conversion a free pass. "Approval" is the important
bit. Before anyone heads straight to the online checkout, there
is an important detail: the approval sticker. The manufacturer-issued
sticker must be permanently attached to the vehicle and readily
visible to the MOT tester.
