Should have added that there is legislation relating to classic and vintage vehicles and the type of lighting that can be used.
Hi John, thanks for the link though it didn’t throw a lot of light on the matter for me — I must be a little dim.
Speaking to one of the principle suppliers of LED conversions, he reckons the law is somewhat behind the technology. That , of course,is just an opinion.
My approach is based on what is best practice to make driving safer on today’s roads. That means seeing and being seen. LEDs do help in this respect.
This leave a nagging feeling that I’m falling foul of the law, albeit in a relatively mild way. I think my pragmatic approach to this will be to get my Sevens MOT tested. I was enjoying a holiday from this annual chore (and expense) but this might be a way forward. There would be a better defense in a court of law if armed with an MOT certificate.
Would be interested to hear what others think.
