Ph1 Dual Optics - Possible MOT Fail?

[_Logie]

Just popped open the fusebox and I do have a space for a fuse in this section;


There is a place to pop in another fuse and I'm thinking on buying Dual Optics to replace the horrid headlights atm.

Question is; if this fuse doesn't work and the dipped lights don't stay on with the full beam would this be an MOT fail?

Confused as I've read different things over the forums and just looking for a definitive answer.


Ta.

FYI Dipped lights don't have to be on with the full beam.

Well the what's the whole MOT fail about bud? Confused as feck here.

Why would it fail the MOT? Dual optics were standard on ph1 172. They don't fail an MOT, plug and play. If you need to just put a fuse in that box? I don't get what the fuss is?

Bottom part where is says Fuse.

So put a fuse in? :S

Yes I know that lol. Terrible at explaining I am.

If I put it in and it doesn't work or whatnot, will it be an MOT fail or not? People say it won't be other says it'll be fine.

I honestly don't see why it would. It might be different for dual optics but on some cars with halogen headlights when the full beam is turned on the dipped beam goes off.

Hmm. I will test it anyways. Just was looking to find out more info if I could.

Cheers mate.

Just put the standard headlights back in for MOT, then you know for sure that it wont fail on that fuse.

Wont fail it, mine passed with the dipped going off when the main beam is turned on.

You sure you actually have the hole for the fuse? It may look like you do but you most likely do not have the metal pins in place to make a connection with, for some reason mine has 1 pin but most others will just have the gap there.

Good to hear it. I'll have a look later tonight for the fuse space but I'm pretty sure it's there, then again I just had a quick peek.

Thanks for that Kerry.
