You're a very bad man:D

Wow cant wait mate look fantastic.
|
You've been busy Rick. Looking forward to further info:bowdown:.
|
more info to follow soon :) New headlight customisation option for 2021.

That looks really smart, it may give the mot testers something to think about at mot time if it alters the beam or is classed as a product on the lens which reduces light intensity.

Lamps are matched if they: emit light of substantially the same colour and intensity are the same size and shape that they are symmetrical to each other That’s how our tester put it to me when I showed him followed by “curious” Mick |
How does the etching effect the beam pattern or light output? If it does I guess these will be show use only.

They're fine for MOT's in the UK. The Lens etch does not affect the beam pattern what so ever. The light output is also not affected at all as long as you don't go overkill with the etch design (i.e. etch too much of the lens). Even then the affect on light output is minimal to the point it isn't really noticeable.
Just to reference the relevant MOT test criteria: 4.1.1. Presence, condition and operation You must test all mandatory headlamps. ‘Mandatory headlamps’ are a matched pair of main beam headlamps and a matched pair of dipped-beam headlamps. These can be separate or a single pair of headlamps. Lamps are matched if they: emit light of substantially the same colour and intensity are the same size and shape that they are symmetrical to each other This section is talking about having matching pair of headlamps, i.e. having having 1 xenon headlamp and one halogen headlamp for example would be a fail under this section. Also covers having matching headlamp bulb temp, more relevant to xenons. section 4.1.2 is about headlamp level and beam test, which these are compliant with as they don't affect beam patterns :) Rest of section 4 isn't relevant (as it covers the operation of headlight switching, auto levelling and headlamp washers etc). So basically there's only 2 things relevant in the MOT test criteria, 1. light output and 2 beam pattern which isn't affected by custom etched lenses. There's no reason to fail the lights for custom etched lenses :) Tinting the headlights would have a far greater affect on light output when it comes to MOTs than this ;) Some good info on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9DDEvX_044 Just finished the custom headlights for our Kuga with custom etched lenses today so will post some pics up of that soon including the beam pattern :) |
