Aftermarket rear led lights

[zeddy addict]

Hi all,

 

Recently bought some aftermarket rear lights for my zed. Good quality ones and the usual bulb will be fine. Connections all good and solid, came from a UK car.

 

They light up Z at night and look all ok. DOT marked. Asked the question twice before I bought them 'Will they pass an MOT and be road legal in this country' and was assured yes as the leds are the same as the later models and the seller was a 350z specialist.

 

Now got them not quite so sure. Seem good quality but not sure what to look out for? Will be taking them to local MOT station tomorrow to double check. They are from a 2004 car so are compatible but want to make sure they are road legal.

 

Any help would be appreciated in case I need to return them.

 

Thanks in anticipation

Are they "e" marked?

[zeddy addict]

Can't see any 'e' marks on them, seller was positive they were UK road worthy as the LED's were the same as later models. They seem good quality but no good unless the will pass an MOT.

 

Oh well, will find out tomorrow. Have some comeback if not

You'd have been better just paying a bit extra for the genuine nissan ones.

Never failed an mot yet on lights and that includes home made rear clusters.

Dont think your regular mot station looks for more than does it light up when I swtich it on/press the pedal etc

^^ agree! As far as side lights/brake lights are working and visible - I think they are happy...unless you get a cocky one who is real anal and will check for "e" mark!

I wouldnt take them to the MOT place and ask the question like you said you were going to! - you could be shooting yourself in the foot so to speak. 99.9% of MOT stations wont check if they are 'e' marked or not. Honestly, just fit them and away you go.

they are very similar to the ones steve with the supercharged Zed had them on his Zed for a few years with no MOT issues, think they were Depo. But these ones look like they bulge out more on the sides compared to the ones I have seen in the past and OEM so not sure.

Thanks for the info, these are Depo ones and fit the same as originals. Think the bulge is more a bad picture as they fit quite flush to the body.

 

Thanks for replying though

Thanks, have looked up Depo and they are DOT marked, should be ok....... I hope, time will tell
