QUESTION: Are LED lights worth it?

Are https://www.novsights.com/ worth replacing the normal bulbs? Or are the beam patterns a problem for MOTs?

If your changing you head lights to led it will fail it’s MOT due to the beam patten. I found this out when I had fitted a set of led Headlight bulbs.

So just going for OSRAM NIGHT BREAKERs would be better, thank you for the advice. Glad I asked before getting any.

 

P.S these bulbs are what I have looked out: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1IWHHNH1MW79W?ref_=wl_share

I have also fitted OSRAM NIGHT BREAKERS and these are pretty good. I have fitted these to main beam, high beam & fogs. The rest of my bulbs are auto beam LEDs which are pricey but really good quality (5years warranty) and really bright!

I'm using night breakers in my current C class.  They do make a big difference from standard halogens.

I have to disagree with this. On my Celica GT4, I changed to LED headlights 5 years ago and have had no issues whatsoever. However the quality of headlamp LEDs varies hugely. Cheap eBay imports are cheap for a reason. If you pony up for a decent set, it's possible to actually upgrade your lighting output and passing an MOT.

It also depends on the type of headlight you have. If you have a head light unit with a lens projector your be fine but if not it won’t give out the correct beam patten.

I guess an old fashioned circular glass headlamp just works...
