Correct Oddjob, Good old DVSA doing a u turn. Think the problem is that bulbs are specified accorning to their wattage, so LED's cannot be compliant unless someone pays for some sort of homologation. Expect to see all LED lights being acceptable in time, asssuming that they meet the pattern.
Must confess that we would probably pass most led setup's if the pattern was good enough. Unfortunately a lot of these have cheap leds fitted and the pattern is all over the place.
Some good quality ones about now, but are expensive.
