I believe the MOT guidance has been updated to clarify the situation where non road legal units could pass a basic examination, by the mot test mechanic, of correct fitting and that they work although the light pattern is considered. The MOT wouldn't necessarily pick up stray light patterns.
Having said that, there does appear to be a lot of vehicles on the road with faulty lights and even headlights painted blue, would expect all these to have been picked up at the MOT.

I’ve replaced all my rear bulbs with leds off eBay. They make so much of a difference it’s unreal it’s like night and day. When I use reverse gear now, I can actually see the road behind me.

Can we get a list of all the bulb types that Grandland X has?

I know for a fact that all interior dome light bulbs and the boot light is W5W.
The side indicators/repeaters are also W5W but Amber (sometimes listed as WY5W).

I believe (not 100% sure so please can someone confirm?) that the rear ones are as follow:
- Fog Light - H21W Red
- Reverse Lights - W16W White
- Indicators - W16W Amber
- Stop Lights - P21W Red

What are the low and full beam ones? Are they H7 and H1 respectively or both H7s? Also what are the front fog lights?

Agree about the headlamps they do look odd in comparison to the LED but for the quality of light I will wait till darker times to see what its like. Believe it or not I have done hardly any night time driving since I got it.
What bulb will do the inside of the boot?

Did you manage to change it to a led , If so what led bulb was it
Cheers
No sorry, I'm still looking for led type replacement for the inside boot light. If anyone knows it would be great to hear what it is
