Rear offside light lense

[stephsol]

Hymer B584/ 2001/2.8
Hi all,
I have a piece missing from the above lense, all lights are working so I've covered this redundant part (as there's no light in it) with duck tape.the question is - will it fail the MOT as is.?

Regards Steph.

You would be better off using red lens tape, which if it cuts out any white light leak should pass an MOT.

Or you could treat it to a new one.

Pardon our interruption...

Fail anyway. It's the rear reflector.

I tried coastal for a new one, they didn't have it, but I'll keep trying, although the tape will do for the time being.
Thanks

Does this mean you think it will fail with the tape??? Don't understand

One of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18673959...pid=5339023013&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

The whole of the lens cover is a reflector, so I would be very surprised if the remaining lens was not sufficient to keep the MOT tester happy.

 

[stephsol]

That looks right, coastal did suggest it might be one that could fit caravans too. Brilliant!

Yes, it's covering the reflector.

I disagree. If the whole lens is a reflector why bother molding in a space with no purpose and using materials unnecessarily.

 

[stephsol]

Yes, it's covering the reflector.

With the duck tape, yes, but the red reflector repair tape should be ok,
right ???

The caravan version is different as it has triangle reflector rather than a rectangular reflector on the motorhome version

It's not reflective tape though.
The tester may have left his guide dog at home that day and not seeing it's just red tape

The OP can always stick on an additional reflector or a section of 3M reflective tape if he wants belt and braces.
