The law around classic cars and LED lighting

While for the vast majority of road users, it’s illegal to retrofit their vehicles with LED bulbs, for classic car owners, the story is different.

The MOT inspection manual states: “Existing halogen headlamp units on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp for light source and lamp not compatible

Therefore, Pre April 1986 vehicles are not subject to these restrictions, and subsequently, drivers can legally fit LEDs to their classic cars if they so wish.

Fitting a classic car with LEDs produces excellent light coverage of the road ahead and so allows drivers to see much farther. While not every classic car driver will agree with fitting their car with LED lights, as it’s not in keeping with the time period, it’s undeniable that there are clear benefits to fitting them as pre 1986 lighting technology is significantly behind where it is today.
