Blatman Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 No reason why the favourite housing of your choice couldn't be adapted to fit an LED array though. I can't see any reason why they'd be illegal either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat Eric Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I thought bulbs on cars had to have an " E number " marked on them, to show they were road legal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I don't think the bulbs on my number plate lights are E-marked, and I'm pretty sure the lens isn't either. All the MOT man ever does is look to see if they're working... SVA might be a different ball of wax though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilwillis Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yep, for SVA, the lights need E numbers. After that........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen H Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yep, for SVA, the lights need E numbers. After that........ I don't think that is strictly true, yes its a good starting point but according to the guy who recently inspected mine on SVA, if it is of sufficient intensity with the light patten and angle of visibility etc within the limits, i.e. of equivelant standards, then it doesn't necessarily have to have an 'E' stamp I have put non standard lights on the rear of mine (car), yes they have got the relevant 'E' stamps and codes but he wasn't interested in that, purley that they were functionally correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve@svc Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Number Plate Illumination. These are less onerous that most other car lights as the Construction & Use Act states simply that the illumination of your number plate should be “adequate”. I’m surprised that this does not lead to a number of arguments along the lines of the “Oh yes it is” and “Oh no it isn’t” variety @ SVA. Those lights used in production vehicles are “E” marked. “E” marking is not essential – if the light is not “E” marked it should be compared to an “E” marked light during SVA. Just because the light is “E” marked does not necessarily mean it will pass SVA. Sharp edges (around screw holes etc) and lights fitted outside the positions outlined in SVA manual often cause failure. BTW, the only other light that does not have a specified output (bulb rating) (that I can think of) is the reversing light. Best regards for 2005 Steve @ sVc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I used these when I rebodied my car. They replace the license plate bolts and really clean up the back of the car. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
