So Yes it would be a fail, our VOSA guy told me a few days ago that they are going to get tough on conversions.


Hope that helps

They ought to get tough on the specification of L.E.D. and the other ridiculous headlights that are really not fit for purpose on new cars, never mind older cars.There is supposed to be a height at which a headlight can be fitted, but if you look at the latest idiot clown cars, Range Rovers in particular, it appears to me that the headlights are at the same level as my eyes when I am sitting in my car. Who has not been blinded by the new type of headlights with very wide scatter on the beams from headlights? Utterly stupid. There again, it has become a @#£& u jack society, so I suppose it’s par for the course. Been thinking of putting my old Raydnot Blue Spot spotlights on mine just to use when I am blinded by these stupid lights.
