Got my MOT tomorrow morning at 8am.

Just tonight decided to check the rear fogs as ive only had the car 2 weeks.

The wires are all there (LED rear lights) but they dont work! :cya: Seems to be a wiring fault

So now the car is going to fail the MOT for me not having a light that I never use.

Can MOT test stations "overlook" these things?

probably stupid question, but are they wired the right way round since led's are polarity sensitive?

yeah mate - they worked for the previous owner apparently but the switch wasnt connected. I wired up the switch every way possible but they STILL dont work

I have front fogs - when you turn them on, its like the sidelights turn on as they illuminate the front fogs and rear lights without the sidelights or headlights turned on.

It must be gremlins - but I dont have the knowledge to sort or the money to pay for an electrician


I need the MOT to go smoothly but I know its gonna fail... bloody nightmare!

Trip to Halfords for a cheapo fogger, should get your through, then take it back off, you got a year to sort the other one out.

right - failed the MOT today on a coupla bits...

fog light obviously, rear tyres worn and failed lambda.


Fog light im sorting out by converting a reverse light into a fog.
Rear tyres - ouch! $$$
Lambda - silly twat here forgot he has a decat - so no wonder!

Fingers crossed this works

not ure what typres you run bud but i got some 19 inch kuhmos, and they werent a bad price ...125 each so 17 or 18s shouldnt break the bank

 

[speedfreek]

I have been quoted £85 each for some kumho's - still pricy but not bad at all

thats not even close to pricey for tyres

That is for 255/40/17's

And that is indeed with VAT and fitting at my local place

The owner of the place is a mate of mine so does me a good deal.....

Give him a call if you like (Duncan at Toxic Rides - based in herts) and see what he can do for you. Tell him Lee with the skyline sent you
