The right hand bulb is an H4 so the dipped beam from it has a well controlled light pattern that, provided the beam is adjusted sensibly, will not cause an MOT failure. Aside from the wiring mod I found it helpful to trim the right-hand side of the locating tabs on the bulb so it can be rotated a little further clockwise, making it less "continental".

You should of fitted the fuse in a position for easy access so it will take you 10 seconds to take it out./ Not worth not doing for a silly MOT fail.

Cheers dudes. Yes fuse is in a good spot. I may also ask the MOT guy for his thoughts. The MOD is very simple for those thinking about it and there was a great guide on the old site
