Twin Headlights not "E' marked

HI,

I am changing my stock headlight to a twin headlight. If the headlights aren't E marked does that mean they aren't legal to use on the roads? Im in the UK

Yes it does mean they do not meet the requirements and are for off-road use only.

No, you don't have to have an E marked headlamp and provided it passes the MOT beam test it is legal to use.

E Mark is what manufactures standards are needed to meet construction and use reg s.
Mot is beam pattern and performance..

Re: Twin Headlights not "E' marked

so as long as the beam pattern is okay i.e not flashing in people eyes it should be okay?

Well as long as the pattern on the beam meter is below the line with a kick on the n s Mr Mot man can't fail it if its white or yellow.
Look in the Mot manual.
Its on line
