mk2pock Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Are you using standard bulbs? I used some different headlight bulbs in my lights a few years back and believe or not but even though they looked and performed perfectly, somehow they buggered the beam pattern up, so I used to have to swap them for the MOT. Also are the lights e marked? If they aren't then maybe they aren't intended for use in this country, RHD vehicles, so the pattern will be wrong. You can put some tape over a certain section of the light, to block the area of light which blinds people coming the other way, then it should pass. Your tester, if he's half reasonable should let you do this if you ask him while it's aimed at the beam setter. There's no other way that I no of to change your beam pattern. Hope this helps Old Fords do it sideways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
