Mustang lighting for UK SVA.

[topbanana2000]

Hi,

I have a 2002 Muzzy GT and will soon be returning to UK from Budapest with it so will have to pass SVA.

Can I get away with the factory headlights (flat beam)and do I have to fit additional sidelights too (is it due to the dual filament bulb for indicator and side lights ?). I have heard that some SVA testers waive the side repeaters issue as the front and back ones are on the corners and are visible from the side. Tail lights, hopefully the Cobra kit will do the trick though it looks tricky and expensive (any suppliers recommended ?). The side mirror bieng not deflecting may be a problem too.

Any advice ?

Cheers

HI,

The Muzzy arrived from US last week and looks great. I have 2 years to sort the lights out before I bring it back to UK. Is there any rules on placing a 12 or 19 ultra bright LED in the reversing lights (clear when not lit and vey bright when lit). This wouls make things a bit easier for me. They draw 95 less power than conventional filament bulbs so there should be no loading on them and last 100,000 hours constant usage. Does anyone think this would be a runner ? Oh and is there any spec on wattages for indicating and side lights or can be just visible. Think the sides are 5w. The led's are ultra bright and have a very wide angle of view.

Cheers

Thanks, I will go on Ebay and buy a couple to try. Quite a lot of types, brightness and angle of viz. Not sure what the load or impedance is but will experiment. I just like the lights as they are. Will probably go for the sides in the front fogs and e marked side repeaters from ebay. I would be interested to hear if anyone else has tried this route with leds.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Cheers
