Hi all,
Im kind of new to the forums (in posting terms), but have used alot of the knowledge from them over the couple of years I have owned my car to keep things running!!
Got back from the Classics at the Castle (which was a great day) last night and got all inspired to sort out this problem which is preventing me from using my car at the moment (69'). I basically need an MOT, but as I have US Spec lights I am not able to pass the MOT with them.
I have fitted some new lenses (Euro Spec) all round, and then only to realise that the bulbs are still illuminating in the wrong places. I am after a bit of advice on what the best thing to do is. Im told by Max at Revival cars, who does all the work on mine, that it is a good clean example and I would hate to do anything detrimental to the looks/function of the car just to make the lights work.
I am assuming that i'm going to have to remove some of the bulbs and maybe rewire them, but im not really that comfortable doing that at this stage.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
One other thing my car failed on was the lack of an overtaking mirror as the car is a lefthand drive! Has anyone else had this problem or am taking my car to the pickiest MOT centre in the world.
We took some great pics from the day so if anyone would like any, just reply and I will post them or email them out as a batch.
Thanks for looking and hopefully helping.
James
