Will these lights pass IVA
gaz_gaz - 5/3/18 at 01:49 PM

looking for a pair of cheap headlights for IVA only.

Do you think these will be suitable.
It says they're Emarked but other than the marking in the centre and the brand name the glass appears markless.

what's the general thought?

I suspect the mirror does the deflection.
But I wouldnt want to risk it for a £90 retest - they arent even that cheap.

A few quid extra and an obvious pattern to the lens.

or from the same people, the non crystal versions.

Bear in mind also if the headlamps are not mounted high enough 5 34 headlights will fail IVA. As most 7 cars have their mounts set at a height for 7 inch headlamps.

Mine failed on this!
