Don't know for sure but if they aren't e marked it may be a challenge to get them through, though in theory it isn't required for IVA.

Fit AFTER the SVA / IVA.

not before!
Its easier that way.

Problem with them for SVA (and the same I presume for IVA) is that if not correctly E-marked then they have to be "of similar brightness" to E-marked lamps. Personally I'd say they are a lot brighter and so might the tester.

Shouldn't be a problem if they were fitted post test. I'm considering doing that and fitting some, although I might wire them to run with ignition on and side lights off as daylight running lights.

I think they would look quite good on my tintop. Any idea if they would pass MOT?

We have an old SJ 4x4 and I plan to use these as side lights as it used to have sidelights and indicators in the bumper and they disolve with age. (inculding bumper).

Putting incators in bonnet and these in beside head lamps.

So hopefully will pass MOT

I have done that on mine with some I bought from Halfords. Similar but not flexible. Have fitted them to the bar of my light bracket and wired as daylight running lights
