Headlight marking
Another IVA clarification if possible folks... I'm using my donor MX5 headlight units (halogen H4 bulbs in a Lucas style unit). I can see that
the only E mark it has is E9, which suggests Spanish origin. I assume they've been made for a RHD car because the donor was able to pass an MOT.
Coming to the IVA, I can't find any reference to whether an E mark is required for standard headlamps, only that the beam pattern is as
described. Have I understood it correctly?
Lastly, this is what is stamped on the glass, does anyone know what any of it means;
PL 02 A 00 HC/R 12.5 (E9) 6310 NS-2232
It's the centre E mark that I understand means a Spanish approval, and the H is halogen. Both left and right have the same numbers, there's
no variation between the two.

E mark is only need for the rear fog. All other lights are inspected for the merit of there colour, brightness or beam pattern by the assessor.

But it makes the inspector's job much easier if they show the correct marks. He/she looks at the mark and moves on to alignment immediately.
