How do I get my 2001 Mk2.5 import through the NCT?

[ShaneC]

Hi,

my 2001 Mk2.5 (NL) import failed the NCT because the headlights point the wrong way (no surprise there). I've been trying for many months to pick up a 2nd hand set of headlights that point the right way but to no avail (the idea of paying 800 euros for a new set that may or may not fit doesn't sit very well with me ). Anybody got any suggestions?...

Thanks, Shane

Try tranors in the north, or keep an eye out on ebay.

Traynors have at least 6-8 Mx5's in at the moment.

Type "Breaking MX-5" into Google and see what comes out.

When I moved from NL to the Isle of Man I bought lens covers (as reccomended by the testing center).
After fitting them I passed the test and the car became road legal in the UK and it got IoM plates.
Can't remember where I got them, but this might help: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCmd?srch=headlight+converters&action=search&storeId=10001&catalogId=10151&langId=-1

I think the true answer there then is to take it to the IoM to get it tested!
