I've been looking into the lighting requirements, as I am to send my 2008 Mustang GT to the UK in the next month or so (i'll be following close behind).
Some folks are telling me not to sweat this, that we can work it when I get there, but I'm not putting my baby into unwashed hands...
The MOT requirements go something like this...
...MOT Light Conversion
All vehicles built after 1 April 1981 must have a fog light, mounted at the rear of the vehicle, centered to the right hand side of the vehicle. Also, the light control switch must light up when the fog light is on and must be seen from the driver's seat. Got a couple of ideas on mods to the existing lights, but not sure yet how this will work.
Parking lights must be white, not amber. These are available, but will have to change the bulbs on most.The headlights in the UK are angled differently than in the States because of driving on the other side of the road.
All vehicles built after 1 April 1986 must have a side repeater. A side repeater is a separate turn signal in the fender that can be seen from the driver side door. I'm purchasing a pair of the side mirror replacements that have a signal on the cowl and hope that works, cause I am not doing anything ugly! Wraparound lights may substitute for the side repeater in some models.
All rear turn signals must flash amber, and must not adversely affect any other light (brake light, parking light). I'm looking at some clear light modules that plug in, along with yellow lights as appropriate. Very few American vehicles meet the standards for light requirements in the UK. The price for a light conversion costs from $50 - $250, depending on the vehicle.
I've pulled the doc's that contain the laws, but if you think the way that laws are written in the US are hard to fathom, wait until you look at these.... very vague.
