Well since my Defender 'invisibility cloak' button is playing up I tend to drive on dipped headlights during daylight hours. To be road legal a DRL must have light function code RL on the approval markings. The DRL must dim or switch off when headlights are on. Only allowed one DRL per side...

The fact that they may pass a UK MOT does not make them road legal. Yes the chances of getting pulled by the police for them. Most people (including certain traders) do not know what the relevance of a peak beam reference number is. However it is a legal requirement. A total reference number...

Tom, this might be a long reply BUT those lights are NOT road legal, I will explain why. There are a lot of Chinese LED manufacturers conning people by putting fake markings on. In the UK basically vehicle headlights have to have an APPROVAL mark. OK some exceptions such as pre 1986 vehicles...

Sorry but you are wrong. E11 is the country code for UK What is need is a genuine APPROVAL mark. There is no such thing as an E mark for headlights! A genuine approval mark consists of several elements Country Code which has done the approval E + number in a circle Amendment or...

Best advice? Get on GOOD working relationship with the EXPERIENCED parts manager at your local independent LR specialist. They will be able to tell you genuine, OEM or aftermarket. They can tell you the source of the part in many instances. Also an experienced parts manager will tell you...

Now at the risk of incurring the wrath of BB and being banished to the darkest of dark places may I tenatively introduce another camp kitchen to this thread. This is an all inclusive kitchen complete with top end high quality knives stoves etc. Now if you are of a weak dispersition or with a...

Replace a standard filament bulb with a LED bulb and immediately your vehicle is not road legal! The only legal way to get LED lights all around is to replace the complete light unit for a LED unit with the correct approval markings on. Look on the back of the blister cards on LED bulbs in...

Am surprised that no one has commented on the Paddock advert WLL is used in the lifting world and is the 'legal' limit that can be lifted with that strap/shackle/chain etc. Has absolutely nothing to do with recovery ropes. Now if you restricted load on that KERR to 2 ton (not tonnes) you...

Hi KMA, I have to learn all sorts of things in my line of work. Have a look at that certificate Combined Upper and Lower Beam Headlamp White in colour. No mention of DRL or indicator so hence the lack of light function code on the lens? For instance Nolden headlights carry light function...

Sorry for slight delay in replying. Now some LED headlights are obviously NOT approved. Those LED headlights just marked DOT, SAE, E+ number in a circle are LLEGAL headlights LED headlights marked with a reputable makers name Nolden, Speaker, Truck-Lite, Vision X with the correct markings...

Kissmyaura, what are the light function codes on your headlights? Should have HCR for dipped and main beam Now what is the halo a position/side light then it should have A as light function code If the LED halo is a DRL then it will have light function code RL on lens. Direction indicator...

Improved lighting for mountain/wooded area use with danger of animals darting out. Consider say a pair of Lazer Lamp ST4 bumper mounted but angled out slightly. This will give a good spread of light close to the vehicle and better chance of spotting that suicidal sheep. For mountain/wooded...

To be road legal in the UK all obligatory vehicle lights have to carry a VALID APPROVAL mark under UK Vehicle Lighting Regulations. AN approval mark is not what most people consider to be an E mark. E + number in a circle is a country code. Headlights which are just marked DOT, SAE and E +...

Save weight, save money. You only need two good roof bars for a roof tent. Brendan

LED will work with a voltage as low as 9 volt so pull the H4 connector off and check the voltages in different switch positions. Dim dip resistors have been know to cause issues with lights. Have a close look at the markings on your headlights. There is a mass of cheap illegal Chinese...
