Right hand reversing light is red ..... will this fail MOT

Post by hovis2130 » Tue Aug 12, 2008 9:14 am

Hiya just recently brought a bongo and my partner informed me that only 1 or the 2 reserving lights worked. When he checked the bulbs the right reversing light contained a red bulb. Upon making futher checks this red bulb is rigged up to a fog light button. Will this pass an MOT as normally the colour of the bulb is the colour of the casing...... and help would be appreciated :-s

Yes it will pass.
You haven't been looking at lots of new cars have you :lol: :lol: :lol: - the lenses are often clear, with coloured bulbs behind them.
