Blue Side repeaters and the dreaded MOT!

[Anonymous]

I plan on fitting my blue side repeaters on my h reg sr, but as my MOT is coming up wasnt sure if it was worth doing as i dont know if they are legal! can anyone tell me if they are legal or not?
cheers

Not sure, but the MOT handbook just says that they have to emit an Amber light, so if they do, then they should be ok.....but it's kinda a grey area I think!

See www.motuk.co.uk as that's got the full handbook, with full details of MOT requirements. Failing that, just ask at your MOT station.

Ive got blue bulbs under clear repeaters on mine, but i plan to remove them for the mot coz i dont think it would pass..

[Anonymous]

ah, my repeaters are actually blue. so i dont think i could get away with it.

I won't pass of they "flash" blue....like I say, they have to "flash" amber, but it says nothing about the colour of the leans?

[Anonymous]

mine passed with blue lenses but I fitted the special amber bulbs!

[Anonymous]

where do i get the amber bulbs?

[Anonymous]

Halford's, or any parts place should have 'em.
I use the amber bulbs in my clear side repeaters.

Cheers, i will get some then. another question is, how did you cut the body work to fit them in?

be safe and save yourself hassle, leave the off until after your MOT...

kyle.....When I fitted my Vauxhall-style oval clear side repeaters (like on Corsa etc), and used a sheet of thick card to make a template around the repeater it's self. By trimming and shaping, I managed to make the repeater fit into the sheet of card, which gave me the shape required for the hole on the car wing.
I drew around the inside of the template, to mark the shape on the body, then cut it out using a Padsaw. I used the original repeater holes, and had to cut rectangular strips out, to either side of the hole.

A bit of fine filing later, I had the holes perfect....slap on some paint, and when dried, clip in the repeaters (putting the bulb in first of course), and jobs a good un!
