Advice needed for upgrade road-legal headlights

Featured Replies

Hey there guys & gals

I have a problem which I sincerely hope a UK member will be able to help me out.

I have an Audi A3 1.9Tdi 2009 3-door hatchback making it an 8P1.

I need some advice on an upgrade for my headlights that will meet the current U.K M.O.T testing standards as laid down by the D.V.S.A.

This is their link

Aftermarket HID Headlamps - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

> 

I have LED headlights and main beam in at the moment but they fail because the M.O.T tester can NOT get a pattern.

The tester has told me that I only need to change the headlight bulbs the LED main beams are O.K.

Panic over I have just found out the price of the new type, plus the MOT etc. etc. so I am going to re-fit my old bulbs😃

I have fitted in my passat H7r hids, there is a metal shield fitted to the lamp that stops the lower part of the reflector bowl throwing the beam off (the egg shapes on the road),

leds are far too bright for a standard reflector headlight.
