The new checks will also ensure the new generation powerful headlights do not dazzle oncoming motorists.

All good and well until someone gets hurt or dies when the brakes fail or ridiculously bright headlamps dazzle you off the road. I'm sure most members on here would agree  :huh:

They mean if any warning light isn't working.

I think alot of MK4 owners know pretty well that the EML works.

I'm not talking about them passing a car with things like brakes not working, I just mean the odd verbal advisory instead of a fail on the understanding you go and get it done straight away. I'm not sure I have ever seen any headlights that would dazzle me off the road, I tend to keep my eyes on the road rather than stare into bright lights lol
