Just had my MOT to my bus, everything ok except the light.
Had put many LED light bulbs to side light, license plate light...etc., they all fail. The guy told me must use the "conventional" light bulb. Even this "green" modification is not ok. A small conventional light bulb is around 5 watts, when they all add up together, we are talking about 20 to 30 watts. All the led light add up probably only take 1 watt.

Also the fog light switch need to have a tell-tale indication on the dash?? (I made no change since the bus imported, pass MOT for twice and fail for this time?)

got 10 days to fix and free retest lol.

LED replacement bulbs are not road legal. So he was right. Although some testers turn a blind eye to them.

The rear fog lamp switch can have the warning lamp built into it as long as it is within the drivers view when in a normally seated driving position. or you can have a separate switch and warning lamp.
