MOT indicator question

uksurfer · 31-08-2009, 09:19 AM

is there a rule about rear indicators, are the integrated tail lights legal? and could i have led's around the rear light, i thinking they might have to be a distance apart?
cheers

as far as I can see here there isn't anything about that, only a bit in the statutory indicators bit. But I know lots of people have had this problem before as you'd be aware. Is one of those area in the MOT which is a bit left to discretion and a friendly tester would pass, while a jobworth one would kick up a stink.funnily enough the Husky hasn't got indicator as is considered off-road but it isn't..

Possibly there is but last time my IE was MOT'd it passed fine with an integrated back light.

I think the rule is still if you have them fitted they should work.
