hmmm, this may be a clue:

* These lights are E-marked and fully road legal (over 1000 sold to date)

E-marked and bulb wattage look fine to me.

for some reason I though this was about black bulbs

Might be worth asking if they dip the correct direction (RHS??). Other wise they will fail SVA and MOT.

i bought some chrome ones the same , they are intended for bikes, and dont dip to the left or change the beam pattern.so probably won't be any good for SVA

It doesn't neccessarily mean that they are ok for SVA or MOT as your only headlights though......

And don't forget that you can't use these as a pair on each side - you're only allowed 1 dipped-beam light on each side (although you can have 2 high-beams on each side).

The question I'd ask is "are they E-marked for the UK", i.e. do they dip to the left, with a 'kick-up' on the kerb side? They could be E-marked for France or Germany!

PS: Just had a look on their website - everything else they sell seems to be for bikes, so these may be bike lights (straight dip) no matter what they call them.

here's the text from the website, but as said 100% bikes - do bikes 'dip' in the middle, if so why? Rescued attachment chrometxt.gif

I guess that you'd be pretty pee'd off if you were banked over on a right-handed bend and your headlights were illuminating the trees!
