UK now allows approved LED replacement bulbs in MOT tests
From 14 October 2026, MOT testers must accept ECE approved LED replacement (LEDr) bulbs fitted in compatible halogen headlamp units on class 3, 4, 5 and 7 vehicles. The change does not apply to class 1 and 2 motorcycles, halogen units converted for HID bulbs, or full LED headlamp unit replacements. Approved LEDr products must carry a permanent, secure approval sticker on the vehicle visible during the MOT. Testers need only check the presence and condition of this sticker and must fail the headlamp where the sticker is missing, unreadable, appears tampered with, or does not match the fitted bulb.
