That's the chance you take when buying second hand, I know this may sound like a stupid idea but how about you put your frosted ones back on for the MOT so it passes and then change them back over.
As for them being the wrong beam throw, how long you had them on the car? Have you ever been flashed due to the fact you was blinding other road users?

And you thought this was acceptable?! You thought obscuring people's vision and compromising safety to the extent that they need to flash you was ok?
Idiot.

And I was to know I bought dodgy Taiwanese headlights that blinded other road users because If I knew that I wouldn't of put them through the MOT!
How was I to know they were flashing me when there are other cars on the road!
Idiot.

How can you send something back for that, they're diy headlights, what were you expecting?  |
Exactly what I was thinking.. no one sells DIY things with an MOT 'gaurentee'
Car modifications pretty much go against the law / mot and you understand this risk by fitting masked lights you cannot blame the person who did it at all.
Sorry bud

I'm not blaming the fact they're masked the output is fine, it's just continental not British!! Haha

I bought them from a member on here who bought them and masked them himself, however they were bought from Taiwan as Valeo replicas and so split easy masked easy and just failed because the beam pattern is continental:/

used the search button and went through the sellers posts where he asked what DEPO was and a response was they were from Taiwan. Found that out today after i went for MOT.
