they check whether you lights are operational and leveled properly...
cheers


grzesiul I wasn't suggesting that there would be issues. However, having been a member of many other owner's forums for different cars over the years I have seen numerous examples where people have used LED bulbs and come across arsey MOT testers trying to be picky about the colour, e marking legality etc.

I am mearly asking what other peoples experiences are. As it happens have bought some anyway.

Nice one Mac !

I,ve been awaiting that update ! i shall order some forthwith !

As for the MOT testing station !!!!

I have a Golf Rallye, Try getting one of them thro an MOT ! no side indicators, weird headlights, body panels......... left hand drive !

I have been refused at several MOT testing stations because of the headlight configuration amongst other things.

Any way i digress !

Problem is that behind the lamp in the card is just a Bulb Holder and a cavenous space.........So the LED's will not be as effective there, but awaiting nightfall to see the difference.

How did you wire up the green led for the FBH do you have examples of wiring diagram ect. Did you get a special holder for this.
Thanks

FBH LED

FBH Led,

You can wire it across the pump. You can get the connection at the FBH - Three connectors Pump, CAN Bus/W bus and power in, should be obvious Thumbs Up

If you took time to read, clearly you hadn't, you would already know that the Green LED's signifies the Fuel Burning Heater is on, In my case triggered by a mobile phone call.
