    Default My Hella EE's came...

    I'll put pictures if requested, but basically the entire thing is wet, inside the glass, it smells of moldy water, there is plenty of rust all over the lights and I've already noticed a broken plastic piece...what should I do?

    MOT is TOM spelled backwards........


    Seriously, it's the National safety inspection that all cars in the UK must pass before they are allowed to be driven on the roads there. I think it's something that must be passed every 2 years or so, but it's very comprehensive and very strict. Like Nizmainiac said- if headlights have moisture and/or rust inside them, then they will fail the MOT inspection. I think what he's saying is that if you purchased them from someone in the UK, they may have been removed from a car because they failed MOT- basically they were trash to people in the UK and they pawned them off on you- maybe.......

    Did you buy them off of eBay? I remember looking at set and at the time, wondering if I should have taken the plunge.

    chargeback as item not recieved (if you paid thru pay pal via CC) remove your bank account etc from it, and take the money as soon as you get it back on the card. Open a new paypal and let them suck on it. They'll eventually get it back from the theif.

    m.o.t is our yearly inspection to make sure the car is roadworthy, without it you can't buy road fund licence (or tax) and hence you would be driving illegally
