M.o.t soon , I have put the blue,rainbow Osram bulbs in indicators at front and back will it pass through mot ok?? Or is it worth swapping normal orange bulbs back in.
Also probably wont make a difference but the handbrake light bulb on dashboard isnt working atall must just be the bulb that wont affect mot either would it ? i could do it myself before mot been like it for ages .
Thanks

If the indicators flash amber then will be ok.
Don't think the handbrake bulb will fail it. It's not a legal requirement as far as I know.

Osram Pearl bulbs will be fine mine has been 2 MOT's with these in and nothing has been said about them.
I do think you will need to get the Handbrake light sorted tho as it could fail on it.

No requirement for the handbrake bulb to work. It's similar to any other dash light. There is no legal requirement to have the dashboard illuminated at all.
The only requirement is for the ABS warning light (if fitted) to be operational.
Edit. Do you have an aftermarket headunit fitted. Some people disconnect the handbrake switch so that they can watch DVDs while vehicle is moving. Might be worth checking that before changing the bulb.

They'll be fine. We had 24volt bulbs in a 12volt car so they were mega dim and they still passed

That bulb is also the LOW BRAKE FLUID warning light, fit a new bulb ASAP!
