Did you get my PM Bryan?

Personally I wouldn't fit anything that could possibly lead to annoyance like blinded oncomers. I was raised with the proverb: what you do not want done to you, do not do to others.

I agree with your comments, nowt wrong with putting a moral stance in amongst the technical details.
A lot of current modern car LED lighting leaves a lot to be desired be it overly bright dip beams to side indicators that are hard to see in good daylight as some are very narrow. Might be legal but can still cause annoyance.

A rather moral stance for inclusion in technical topic, making the assumption that there's fault present in the LED installation, which may or may not be true.

IF the beam pattern complies with existing legislation, and testing by reflectance chart geometry, then why would it offer a compromised outcome  ?

Most std don't appear to list the light scource as technical prerequisite, but the output alignment in general.

When we took our Sl for it's Mot a couple of years ago the tester at the MB dealership  failed it on the number plates digit spacing.
The combination of 4 letters & one  number were not mis-spaced to spell a name the plates were marked with the the plate manufacturer details plus the relevant BS code or whatever was the law 20 years ago when we bought the plates. It had passed it's Mot at the same MB dealer as it was since 2004.

Despite my protestations the tester would not re-consider the fail. IMHO he was applying the spacing rules for a modern 7 digit registration marks to a 5 digit plate incorrectly. I purchased a replacement set of plates online the - the only slight difference I could see was the gap between the first letter and the next number was marginally closer about 1/4" on the new plate. I was not charged for the re-test.

I believe it depends on the value that the exporter puts on the export certicate declaration.
