Ok my bikes still in need of an MOT, im currently in the process of sprucing it up abit, Im going to be buying an upgraded headlamp for it, an Acerbis diamond to be exact. My question is for an MOT is the only criteria that it must have a dipped and full beam? I have heard that the lenses must be 'E' marked for it to pass an MOT?
Can anyone clear this up.
Thanks.

Don't know about E marked but I know that's it's got to dip to the left hand side which can be a problem if you have an imported bike. With my Cagiva the garage just put some tape on the headlight to pass it for me.

There is a website out there that gives you exactly what you need to pass the MOT, i'm at work so can't get to my favourites. But i am sure that some else on here can give it to you.
Personally i am not to sure what the E stands for.
