Are These Legal ?

[shanem]

I just seen these on eBay U.S i think they look pretty mean B)

Are they leagal in UK and Ireland to pass nct/mot ?

What do you think?

Cheers

chances are that if they are from the U.S the beam pattern wont be for driving in the UK

I am pretty sure they are legal. BMW have the same concept. If you have them fitted then you need to go to an MOT garage where you will need to get them aligned for right hand drive as Chris S says

You might not be able to get them aligned for RHD drive though, MoT alignment is more a case of up and down, isn't it ? You'll have to get them to point a lot more to the left, and that might not be possible without horrible stick-on beam deflectors.

Try getting them from Japan. Same as us RHD

Pretty much all these type of headlights form the US will fail MOT, due to beam patterns. Most are totally non adjustable, and on those that are, the adjustment is not usually enough.

No worries. You're not the first, and you won't be the last!

I have some fitted on my Altezza. I tapped into the side light wiring so the original side lights will work. Just pop the bulbs back in and disconnect the power pack from the halos before the MOT. Im going for an MOT on the 3rd October so ill let you know how I get on.

Yeah i got those exact lights on mine...failed the MOT....would only recommend them if you could get someone to turn the projector lenses round to change the beam direction to suit UK roads...kinda tricky

My god its been a long time since I was over here, kinda forgotten about the place

If its just the angel eyes/halo rings you're looking for buy them and fit them yourself, thats what I did and this is how they look

Got them from here AAC

[Aweb]

was it easy to fit?

[sorted vti]

yeah i got these on my car. dont waste ur money. the beam has too much of a kick up on the right hand side to pass an mot. means changing them over mot time.

there nice looking lights but just a shame they arent legal. im going to try and take them apart so i can adjust them properly like scott said. just having the time to do it.
