Rojie Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hi Ldrego, I have watched many of your Alphard / Vellfire videos (Cuttothechase), and promoted them on here in this Forum Do you have separate rear fog lights and reflectors ? There is an ongoing debate that many Alphards, on importation, have had their rear reflectors replaced with fog lights that are not reflective. Hence owners are now without rear reflectors, an MOT reuirement. I was wondering if you have had this problem and how you overcame it.

Presence, condition and operation You must inspect the 2 mandatory red rear reflectors that must be fitted. Rear reflectors are not required on vehicles not fitted with front and rear position lamps, or have such lamps permanently disconnected, painted over or masked that are: only used during daylight hours, and not used at times of seriously reduced visibility Reflective tape is not an acceptable substitute for a rear reflector. Defect Category (a) Reflector defective or damaged: (i) by up to 50% of the reflecting surface (ii) by more than 50% of the reflecting surface Minor Major (b) Reflector: (i) not securely attached (ii) likely to become detached Minor Major I 'lifted' this directly from DVLA just now. My interpretation is that they are required. Are you able to clarify the position lamp clause please ? I believe it means tail lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterS Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Reflectors are only needed if the rear lights do not have reflectors built in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to test mine, I never have ! I believe my main reflectors were removed to fit rear fog lights (which are not reflective. I need to test the main light clusters for reflectivity. I hope they are, as it has been a worry for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterS Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Mine is stock and reflective. so hopefully yours is too. if not then just adding a couple of reflectors on the bumper will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
