Not had trouble with them yet they can be turned off though if needed by pulling the relay wire in cab

Haven't been installed now for about half a year

I don't know where this would fit with the general premiss that "if it's fitted then it should work", but there's no way that I would consider the deliberate introduction of a fault condition (open circuit wiring) to be an acceptable method of control of external auxiliary lighting, no matter how dim or bright the lights might be.

Keep up the "If it's fitted it must work" Rule int been legal for years. The rule for MOT's are" If it's not included in the MOT manual it's not testable" There's nothing in the RTA that says extra lights have to work (with the possible exception of high level brake lamps) as long as the compulsary lights work as they should themn it's a pass.
