mot - Foglights

[strugers1]

a simple one here do you nee fogs to pass the mot??

 

[caveo]

only rear ones

 

[strugers1]

thank god for that!!! cos one side of my bumper bit gone where my fogs were with a fmic in the way lol!!!
not bad considering allar sai you dont need to cut the bumper

 

[DOLBY]

i thought it was front and back?....

**actually yeh your right**

 

[StuPDi]

i thought,

if they were there, they need to work??

bit like a spare wheel, you don't need to have one, but if it there, it must have a legal tread tyre if yiu get my drift??

Stu

 

[strugers1]

so its just rear yeah???sure people??

 

[D.K]

My mate is an MOT tester and i'm 99% sure i'v only seen him check the rear fog light's

 

[strugers1]

i pretty sure its rear only too but i wanna be certain ya know!!!

 

[DOLBY]

you would of thought both need to work......?......

 

[StuPDi]

only the rear is a required minimum,

Stu

 

[Big Ejit]

Can you get away with just the RH one working or do they both need to be working?

 

[CupraMVR]

no only the Right side one on the rear needs 2 work or in the middle but if both rear work all the better

section 6 rear fog lights

 

[StuPDi]

thought it was the right for rears??
or both if fitted?

front lights must be fitted in pairs, and asymetric

Stu

 

[CupraMVR]

yea sorry it was a typo my mistake should always read what i write

 

[Big Ejit]

Says centre to offside in that section. Good info on that site though.. Thanks!

 

[StuPDi]

just to bring it back to the original intended question,

we talking bout fronts, hence the reference to FMIC

i thought, if fitted, must work, and had to be fitted in pairs?

might be best to remove the other 1, as you don't have to have them

Stu

 

[oldman]

i go with StuPDi, if the front are there they should work
they may be nice and give a pass with advisory, but you never can tell.

No harm in phoning them to ask in advance so you can get working.

 

[CupraMVR]

its not a testable item so its dont matter if they work or broken or not there.not every car is fitted with them so cant test them but all cars are fitted with rear 1s.even import cars that dont have them should have them fitted.

edit.. dont worry

 

[strugers1]

well if they do need them ill wege one in lol an plug it in but i taken both out now anyway an i got boost again too
