Do Indicators have to be orange for an MOT ?

You,re on sticky ground Jules, probably do.

Surely it depends on the age of the vehicle, Brian's are white, and my Minx's are white, Brians a 65 the Minx 59

Am I right in saying that the sidelights flash as indicators on the early models?

Just googled this;

Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986
These must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens. Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an 'E' mark in a circle or an 'e' mark in a rectangle above which is the number 5. c. the flashing rate Note: it may be necessary to run the engine when checking the flashing rate c. does not flash 60 to 120 times per minute
d. that every direction indicator emits amber light, except vehicles first used before 1 September 1965 where both front indicators may be white and both rear indicators red d. does not show light of the appropriate colour

The 65 PA passed with the clear indicators/side light combo (amongst other things such as no fog lights, reverse lights, seat belts and a stonking V8)

But then again the lorry is test exempt so it is up to me to ensure the vehicle is safe for the road.

kjh;)
 
You can fit clear lenses with coloured bulbs.

Thanks chaps.

Orange bulbs with clear lenses is a bit 2009 for my liking. Mine are going to be LED clusters, shining through a 2 way mirror :p Well maybe, if I can sort it out.
