Why do you need to remove them Rob?

Unless they are wired to the headlights in some way i would say leave em connected. They won't test them i don't think. When I took mine in and i forgot to turn them off before handing over the keys. Nothing mentioned.
If you do need to remove them then easiest way wold be locate the switch and pull the wires from the back (taping them up of course) that or take out the bulbs.

HI robin,

Ive had lots of experience with nct due to the emissions problem that i was having with my five. and i had spots that were wired up to the headlights.

The only thing they asked me to do was to put some installation tape around the wires which i should have done anyway

Other than that they never said nowt about them.

One other thing as everyone has mentioned if you have the red reflectors on your
bumper take them off or put black tape over them or them will fail you for that.
Check the rubbers on your pedals to make sure there not worn away, ummm everything should be cosure with your baby.

Hope this helps

Thanks lads - I just remember reading somewhere (can't remember where) that non-standard spots could be a fail on the nct - mine are not wired to the headlights - on a different switch - so can have them on without any other lights - looks good - but no sure if road legal

As Ollie suggests - think I will book it in and say nought - Cheers

Robin
