Sidelights in Headlamps
mad4x4 - 23/7/04 at 12:36 PM

Was readin a post of the DAX forum and saw :
here are sidelights in the headlights, but you would fail SVA if you used them as they are in the wrong position, you have to have the sidelights mounted on the SVA bars to pass.

Can some one translate this.... or better still are you allowed sidelights inside the Headlanp unit...... I'd guess so as modern cars now have em,

Depends on where the headlights are mounted on the Dax - if they're close enough to the edge of the vehicle, and at the right height, then there's no reason why they should fail. I know that the Dax uses the front 'nudge-bar' to mount the sidelight/indicator units, probably because it's the only way they can get them within 400mm of the outside.

Anyway, just think how many 'real' cars have sidelights in with the headlights!
