White indicator lights, MOT fail?

Hi,

One of my indicator bulbs went so I used one off my dads bike, but it gives a white light not an orange light like my other one? Is it ok to put it through an MOT like this? On my dads it shows as orange because the lenses are orange, but mine are clear/iridium with orange bulbs.

Oh and my front indis arent E marked will they be ok?

Matt.

YEp, it will fail if its not amber enough.. local car place sells fluid you can paint on the bulb that makes it propperly amber, not tryed it myself as i'd allready broken the offending one of a kind indicator cover Rolling Eyes
