i know there's loads of talk about relays H4 H7 etc etc
but my question is
currently on my frosted lights, when i switch to main, the dipped beam goes off
when i fit my angels, will this still happen?
if it does, is it a MOT failure on angels, or is it fine to have them doing this?
if its fine, why do people bother fitting a relay?
thanks peeps

It wouldn't fail. The relay is added to keep the dipped beam on to put more light on the road.

50% of the light sources in each lamp must work.
The reason the frosted lamps illuminate more of the road when full beam is activated is due to the reflector.

50% surely 100% to pass the MOT?

You have two filaments = Dipped and Main, thus 50% each
