If it fails you just go back to checking manually, it's not like they let your tyres down.

New Hella 450 spots fitted, work of a moment. Still need to wire them up & adjust. Ordering the yellow fogs is next.

Old lights sold & shipped off today. Was going to throw them away, but he offered a pittance & I accepted.
All four of the new blinders installed, just need to hook up the harness.
