led legalities ?

[terminator]

On a twin headlight conversion.Would adding an led as a sidelight bulb in the headlight be legal??

Dont know for sure, but as far as I know....so long as it is ommiting (spell check that) a white light, then you will be fine.

I can feel some DIY coming on here!!

Man with cordless drill +10mm drill bit + one set of new headlamps = man with hole in hand and broken headlamp that lets the moisture in

End result= std headlamps being fitted and broken lamps being sold on Ebay for a loss

Hope you dont think Im being cheeky!! Im sure it will work fine

Thanks.Today i called the sva,vehicle inspectorate and the traffic police. The outcome was that as long as the light is of the same brilliance as a 15w sidelight bulb then the sva would pass it. I have decided to buy a strip of leds and add them to above the fog light

as a daytime running light and they are e marked so will pass an mot.

I have some more useless info: There can b indicators on a car anywhere on the front as long as 400mm from outeredge andno more than 1500mm

in height.the same for sidelights but indicators have a min height.
