Mot

[widdy]

Just had the MOT done on the car yesterday at a local garage (non franchised).

They actually failed the car on the side repeaters, because they where not amber.
When I checked inside the repeater it was a clear bulb, so the guy just painted it amber and then passed the test. I have not changed these bulbs.

Has anyone had this and are the bulbs in the repeaters meant to be amber or clear. The actual repeater is white

I have got some blue side repeters which I might now fit to see what colour the light flashs then.

sometimes the paint they're covered in burns off.

weird tho as i'm sure all the bulbs i've seen flashed orange.

I also checked my front indicators and noticed that they are orange although the paint lookeda little crazed.

This is a drawback the ex had on her chinky-chento.

The indicator bulbs MUST be amber. If they show white at all, it is an MOT failure.

The amber coating on them flaked off at the earliest opportunity, and she had to buy a new set every year to pass the MOT !
