But it was not all New cars. It was new type approved that has to have them fitted as standard.no need to use.and not on the UK mot from 2014 for checking. S k o d a fitted daft d r l / limelight / parking light units but never bothered with front frogs.

all police officers who cant read between the lines when someone is explaining that the car came this way from the manufacturers and therefore would have passed any VOSA inspection or MOT for that matter..

I think that you may have missed a salient point here; you don't have to look very far to find adverts for lighting options that are not legal for everyday use - e.g. "A range of high power and high wattage headlight bulbs primarily intended for off-road, race, rally and show use.".

 

In specific relation to the Fabia vRS, I believe that there are one or two people on this very forum who feel that the DRLs fitted to the vRS are not a particularly sensible design, eyebrow LED DRLs have been common for quite a while.

 

More to the point, I don't accept that abusing a Police Officer who is after all just trying to enforce sensible legislation, no matter how officious and ill-informed he or she may be is a sensible idea for either you or the next unfortunate person stopped for some minor motoring transgression - your mileage may vary
