Re: Fog lamp
My XR4 had similar damage and that passed, so sure it's not a fail.
Worse case take them off before MOT, and refit after

Re: Fog lamp
That’s a relief I have had a look on eBay and google and orderd a pair so just swap the glass then . Bloody stones they should be banned .
I think the Romans used them last
anyway what did the Romans’ ever do for us

Re: Fog lamp
I believe that front fogs aren't a testable item for the MOT so you should be OK.
Those low-lying foglamps are particularly vulnerable to damage from stones. Perhaps buy a pair with covers to prevent it happening in the future?

I might use one of the mother in laws bras as they will cover the front of the car to stop the stonesAndrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2019 5:07 pm I believe that front fogs aren't a testable item for the MOT so you should be OK.
