I hope to be getting some rear light clusters but they are not E marked. Wot does this actually mean.
Also i think that they are not reflective so they would fail the MOT but according to http://www.ukmot.com/checklist/motcheck/motcheck_body.htm it says

"Rear reflectors
There must be two reflectors fitted reasonably symmetrically, securely attached and not obscured.
* Must be fitted to all vehicles first used on or after 1st April 1986, but if fitted, must be tested.
** Must be fitted to all vehicles first used on or after 1st April 1980."

Does this mean that if i fit 2 reflectors to the rear of the car then it will pass the MOT.

I would get E marked light clusters but they dont make them for 5 Door corsa's.

if they are not E marked then they are not legal and you can get fined and will not pass an MOT

I was pulled for those lights because one of the coloured bulbs had faded. Police just asked me to get it changed... and they knew they were not legal as the legal ones use coloured lenses not coloured bulbs...

And I've never failed an MOT with them on -- just get to know your local garage well
