I would probably fail you on that basis.

I understood that if they were fitted, they had to be functional, same as your spare wheel. Could be wrong.

Well I was straight up lied to then. Luckily it was just an earthing problem on mine and cost nothing to correct.

Front fog lights aren't tested. Neither have to work, even if they're fitted.

If you want to be double-y sure, put a piece of tape over the switch.

I tested a BMW 318i with front fogs fitted and no switch, no trouble at all.

And I always like to give the tester a pep talk before they start.

My Ibiza failed because I had them and they didn't work.

Get a new bulb


Not sure you can, it's a 306, thought you had to get a new unit, could be wrong. I don't use them, just want to car to pass. Might have a word with him see if it will let it go since he's sound, obviously the bulb went after he checked, these things do happen. :o

Take them both out, if there in place then they have to be working
