Title: Headlights
Post by: bobbarley on 23 December 2011, 02:40
Front driver side, two of the brackets that hold my headlight on are completely broken (snapped in half).  Is that going to fail my MOT?  Light doesn't move about or anything, and works fine.

Peice of pi** to fit too i did mine a while back - VW had already put a hole there so you just screw in one screw on the back of the headlight  :laugh: :cool:

Ah that's good then.  The brackets have been broken ever since the accident in April.
