Will a faulty light result in an MOT failure?
Yes, any issues with the lights will result in an MOT failure. In fact, the most common reason why cars fail their MOT tests is due to a blown bulb, accounting for around 18% of all failures. Making sure that all the lights are working before taking your vehicle to it’s MOT is always a good idea. Any issues with the lights will be recorded as a defect under the “dangerous” category. Dangerous defects will result in an MOT failure and mean that the car cannot be driven until the fault is fixed.

FAQs | Car Lighting Repairs
Below you’ll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about car lights. If you have any issues with the lights on your vehicle such as blown bulbs, flickering, or dashboard warning lights, get in touch with our team today.
What are the most common lighting issues on a car?
The most common lighting issues on a vehicle include:
- Blown bulbs
- Flickering lights
- Dim lights
- Water/ condensation in the light unit
- Wiring issues
- Misaligned headlights
Why do I have a bulb failure warning when all the lights are working?
If you have replaced the bulbs and the lights are all working, then this indicates another electrical issue such as a corroded contact, loose connection, or wiring problem. It’s important to get this checked by a mechanic in order to diagnose and fix the problem. Even if your lights are working, any warning light on the dashboard will result in an MOT failure.
What is the difference between halogen and LED lights?
Halogen lights have a warmer, more yellowish glow compared to LED lights which have a brighter and whiter appearance. More modern vehicles are now being fitted with LED lights as they result in better visibility and are more energy efficient. There is also a third type called HID (Xenon), which some vehicles made in the 90s and 00s may be fitted with. HID lights are more of a blue-white colour and are more efficient than halogen bulbs, but not as much as LED bulbs.
Halogen | HID (Xenon) | LED |
Warm, yellow light | Blue-white light | Cool white |
Low efficiency | Moderate efficiency | High efficiency |
Reach maximum brightness instantly | Take a few seconds to achieve full brightness | Reach maximum brightness instantly |
Common in older or less expensive vehicles | Common in vehicles in the 90s-00s | Common in modern vehicles |
Moderate brightness | High brightness | Ultra-high brightness |
Can a faulty alternator cause an issue with the lights?
Yes, the alternator is responsible for generating electricity when the car is running. If the alternator is not working properly, then this can cause the lights to either be dim or to flicker. If you notice this problem, get your vehicle booked in so it can be properly identified and fixed.
What should I do if my headlights or tailights are water damaged?
If your car’s headlights are water damaged, then this can lead to electrical faults and should be checked and repaired by a mechanic immediately. This is typically due to damaged seal, but can also be due to cracks in the unit itself. Either way, we can repair the damage and replace any units or wiring if necessary.
Are the lights checked during an MOT test?
All the lights and reflectors are checked during an MOT test to make sure they are functional, in the correct position and are the correct colour. The types of lights include:
- Headlights
- Brake lights
- Indicators
- Daytime running lamps
- Registration plate lamps
- Fog lights
Can I change a car bulb myself?
Some bulbs can be quick and easy to replace, but others are more difficult if they are hidden behind casing. We are here to help if you have any issues with blown bulbs and are struggling to access the area, or are unsure which light to use.
