Basically all vehicle obligatory lights have to be type approved which means E marked these days. If your obligatory lights are not E marked they are basically ILLEGAL to use on the public highway. The MOT is a basic annual safety check to check that your vehicle is safe to be on the road. It does not check if your lights are road legal i.e. E marked at this moment in time. Will that change in the future? So whereas the statement 'not E marked but will pass a MOT' is factually correct it is highly misleading as they are illegal to use on the public highway. They are cheap, might explain a lot. However if you actually get pulled by the police, vosa etc would they be still so cheap? Have you read the small print of your insurance policy? I have not, but am sure that there would be a clause that you have to keep the vehicle legal, roadworthy, etc. What about declaring all modifications? Would your insurance company be happy with illegal modifications? Imagine a serious accident, vehicle lighting is called into question and on inspection by loss adjuster your lights are found to be illegal? Brendan |

Silly question, if your vehicle was made pre E marking does that make it exempt?
Not that I want to change my standard lights but just a thought as I'm not sure my obligatory lights have e marks on them or not. Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter  |

Agree totally Brendan. Done some reading and the MOT test looks at only a small part of the construction and use regulations. E marking is needed on 1986 onwards vehicles. Fitting these on newer is illegal and I reckon not worth the risk which is a shame because another option might be nice.
