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.
