I know our tester has said he’s going to be on this as it’s a important safety aspect, he expects to fail a fair few.
4.11. Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment - Electrical wiring - Changed sentence from 'You must inspect all visible electrical wiring, other than on Class 3 vehicles.' to 'You must carry out a visual only inspection of all visible electrical wiring. The check does not apply to Class 3 vehicles.'

Mick,
I read that as
'look at the main lighting wiring' and 'be careful if HID is fitted, you are expected to just look, don't touch'
I too really hate these high beam jocks but it's a lot of newish cars too that are being driven with badly aimed OEM fitted kit (especially the faux 4WD stuff) - why I don't know but it's far too common and I believe it's got a lot to do with suspension meaning the high beam is not set sufficiently low to accommodate the normal range of road surface 'bounce'. Do the standards for what is a static alignment process need a bit of correction?
