Took the Cage in for its MOT today, Failed for a broken front suspension spring and both rear indicator bulbs for being clear not red. Nothing wrong with the lenses colour not faded and no cracks or splits, how long has this been in force as they were the same bulbs as were fitted last year when it passed.

err red indicator bulbs ??? do you mean amber or are talking about  brake bulbs

Clear indicator lens must have amber bulbs

[pete786.u]

Err, wrong again   It`s the indicator bulbs so I should have said amber. The lens `s are amber ("R" reg Megane ) that`s why I was surprised it was an MOT failure for having clear bulbs,

Some lenses fade with time anyone remember the old (Sweeny style) Granada's    once they reach a point where the tester feels the orange isn't orange enough they can fail them.  A fix is to fit a later coloured indicator bulb, the same things happens to where the bulb provides the colour i.e. white/clear turn signal lenses you need a new bulb.

Orange lenses fade and the clouring on them does crack not giving the correct colour so that is why they fade. Mate has a garage and does MOT's.
