I've just done some work for a friend on a Mk2 Clio, it failed on a bunch of things, including off side brake light out, and centre high level not working.

 

Now, the centre high level is a sealed LED unit, which is 30 odd quid + VAT, if the other 2 brake lights are working, will it still fail? Is it a case of 'if it is there it has to be working'? Can I just take it out and leave a hole there for the MOT? Cover it up with gaffer tape?

 

It's booked in for tomorrow, just wondering if it'll pass!

 

Cheers, Tudor...

mine has a high level brake light which isnt working. Wasnt even mentioned as an advisory last week when mine was tested, so figure it must just be the main ones.

 

also, tiny numberplates are also fine :)

Put a bit of black tape over it - try hide it !

I might just remove it from the spoiler and leave the hole there...

Does this help
