Default E approved Rear lights
I've just got some cracking different rear lights from ebay and was told by the seller they are "E" approved.Is their any way to verify this before I put them on? and has anybody had MOT problems with after market rear lights.If it might be a problem on can leave them of for a month as I have my French MOT in 3 weeks.Thanks

If they are "E" approved they usually say so on the lens somewhere

Yes, if the bulbholders fit or it comes with it's own, get some sealant to put round the gasket unless you want a boot full of water! Can't remember what it's called but get one that doesn't set.

there fairly easy to change depending on the amount of sealent the old ones have, but youve got to re seal the new ones because as bluebugeye said theyll leak
