Rob_the_Sparky 10 Posted August 16, 2010 whats the point in it ? you can run the exterior lights without it You only have side lights without it, with it you have dim-dips - these are actually worth having on, the side lights on their own are so dim you may as well not use them once moving.

mickie 3 Posted August 16, 2010 are you saying side lights on the front's are pointless ? haha im running without dim/dip, so just have sidelights/dip and mainbeam.. im thinking i should still pass an MOT ? would i be right in thinking this ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 10 Posted August 16, 2010 Yeah, I don't think there is any requirement for dim-dip to work. TBH even if there is, the tester has to be awake enough to realise that the 205 should have them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reply although I do not see the need for it,other cars manage just fine without one. Nice to know what it is there for though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
