Lols it seems to work for Audi and many current manufacturers, and she has been throgh 3 MOTs with the LED lights as is so i think i am probably ok

So does the headlight switch off when the indicators are flashing?

I’m confused, how don’t you know if the headlight switches off if you’ve got them installed? Also, what’s the Pre 1991 mean, are we exempt from something?

I dont drive the TVR mich at night and the battery if off at the moment so not testing any tine soon.

Headlight to indicator distance directive is post apr 1991 afaik.

There is no way a car is roadworthy if a headlight is switched off when an indicator is switched on (MOT or no MOT)

Isn’t that what the new cars do?

I didn't think Audi's had indicators

They don't Chris. It's not a requirement for superior beings.
I think the same apples to Mercs and all 4x4's driven by women on the school run

And Norfolk Police cars! They must be an optional extra on those

In North Western climes I've noticed the tendency is to execute the time honoured method of manoeuvre, signal, mirror - shrug, "What did I do?", occasionally followed by the regal raising of the middle digit.

Alternatively, the M6 swerve out and brake model is also extensively employed, often when realising, upon looking up from the sat nav/phone/laptop/lap dancer, that the line of fast moving German porridge is no longer fast moving. Schizen!!!!!

Yes, after a relaxing week driving in France I'm back to reality on the daily 60 mile motorway slog in the United Kingdom of useless drivers.

Ugh, I need to retire before I turn into Victor Meldrew.
