Well if they do you can get an upgrade which uses standard bulbs, they are much brighter.

I'm not sure the angel eyes are MOT safe. Check 1st. I may be wrong.

my X got through with them on her mini (they were pink but we took the caps off so they were white) fine.

Cool. I do know of a few who failed but many passed so wasn't sure what the deal was.

it all depends on the tester.. Just like the sva.

You can get the plastic holders as the metal ones always rust out

SVC make the Caterham headlights that take 7" lenses. See www.s-v-c.co.uk
If you need some with no lenses, call me at a local call rate on 08 456 581 251.
If your car has still to go through SVA the angel eye lights will probably not pass. We have inspected this type of lens from 4 makers so far and whilst they may pass Mot, the lenses I've seen would not be SVA friendly.
