#1: M.o.t bulb quick question Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun May 08, 2011 10:24 am ---- 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

Don't think the handbrake bulb will fail it. It's not a legal requirement as far as I know.

I do think you will need to get the Handbrake light sorted tho as it could fail on it.

#11: Re: M.o.t bulb quick question Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sun May 08, 2011 10:52 am ---- 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.
