If they are bike lights, then they won't pass SVA on a car. But if you've already passed...

That made me jump a bit when i saw a pic of my baby then!
the lights are from a company called custom wizard, as per the link above, but are not sva friendly - theyre american dip, and unless you want extra pods under them, as they dont have sidelights in, thats abother fail point, as well as them having sharp edges.
My round ones fell off somewhere between shrewsbury and home, so my only option was to put those ones back on

It is the genius stroke by my friend and garage companion Olle. He was dragged along to IKEA by his wife and found something use full! He noticed a stainless salad bowl and realized that a 8” headlamp might just fit. And it did! The chrome ring that holds the reflector is from early Volvo 240 and you have to be a little persuasive to make it fit. The bowls are something like 2£ a piece, IIRC.

Some do and some dip normally, forward dipping lamps are legal on bikes but not cars. Bike MOT allows tape on the glass for lamps which dip the wrong way but I doubt if SVA would allow this fix.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
