Rupes 0 Posted October 21, 2009 My 205 has just failed it's MOT due to: Near Side Shedlight pattern incorrect with the comment: Slight movement to N/S headlight unit. What the hell does that mean, there's no mention of the beam being too high or low, just the pattern isn't right? - the MOT blokey said it could be the bulb or a faulty light unit - huh?!

Rupes 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Cool. Sounds easy to fix; easier than the CV joint gaiter that's also gone! Thanks for the quick response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rupes 0 Posted October 25, 2009 Strange, the bulb is in the right way (same as the other side) and it doesn't look like it's damaged. What else could it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupes 0 Posted October 25, 2009 Don't know, how can I tell? One thing that occurred to me though was that the bulb holder has four holes, there are two either side about 5mm apart, I wonder if the screws holding it to the light unit were in the wrong holes, so it is rotated say 15 degrees?
