    Unless the LEDs are e-marked which I'm not aware of any aftermarket once they would be a failure, however it will be at the testers discretion if he's noticed or bothered by them.

    carnt see it being a failure unless they are different colour than white, but as stated its mainly upto the inspector ;)

    Thanks all, I think to be safe I will change them to standard for MOT to be safe, then change back afterwards!!

    never had a problem before, might be an idea to leave them in and if it passes you know you wont have to go to the hassle of changing them every year
