Bulbs for tinted lights
« on: 30 July 2012, 12:55 »
I asked this a while ago and didnt get a response and now I need an answer as its MOT time soon  :sick:

I have red rear lights and when I indicate they are obviously red and when I reverse they are red, I try not to indicate and reverse unless absolutely necessary  :laugh:

someone on here had red lights and I PMd them but got no response this is how red they are http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=76966.5370

any ideas?

Cheers all  :wink:

take your reverse bulbs out. If they're not fitted, they can't test them  :wink:

Your reverse light isn't required for an mot so that sorts that half ;)

The reverse light doesn't come into the test at all, an mot tester will rarely even put the car ibto reverse other than to back it out of the garage  :grin:
