MG Midget and Sprite Technical - LED headlight conversions now PASS MoT 19/3/21

As things got confusing on the previous thread I've started another.

"From 22 March 2021, we’re changing these rules so that not all motorcycles and vehicles will fail the MOT test if their halogen headlamp units have been converted to be used with HID or led bulbs.

For class 3,4,5 and 7 vehicles, the defect ‘Light source and lamp not compatible’ only applies to vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986."
