Alan L Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I've lost one of the lens from my old wipac reversing light and getting hold of a new one is proving tricky. Getting the MOT done next week. Is the car likely to fail if the lens is missing but light still works. I have 2 reversing lights so could remove the one without the lens. Alan and his Yellow and Green 1700 BDR HPC.

Molecular--Bob Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm not convinced that the reversing light is part of the test. Hope not because mine dont work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Mears Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 If it's fitted it must work ❗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Alan, If fitted they must work - I took mine off some time ago, and have had no problems. If you have only one, it should be on the passenger side of the car - Fog light on drivers side. I may have an old Wipac lens in the Garage - if I can find it its your if you want it (not sure what state its in though) Dave H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted July 27, 2006 Support Team Share Posted July 27, 2006 Reversing lights are not part of the test in any way shape or form but, to be on the safe side, I would suggest that you just take the offending lamp off.

DohNut Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Mine was misbehaving - permenantly on so I removed the bulb Not part of the test I think I may have an old wipac light unit, or two knocking around if you need . Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan L Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 If anyone has a spare lens I'll gladly take it off you hands either for payment or a donation to NTL. Alan and his Yellow and Green 1700 BDR HPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 My Wipac lenses used to regularly fall off so I taped over the units with some insulating tape. Never had a problem with MOT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 It does NOT have to work if it's fitted. My car has had a non working reversing light for about 4 years,and has never failed the MOT for it. It has been to a few MOT sattions as well. RED 2.0 HPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan L Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 My reversing light does work it just doesn't currently have a lens. I'f I can't get a lens in time I think I'll remove temporarily just to save the confusion. Alan and his Yellow and Green 1700 BDR HPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
