Silly question and probably the wrong place to ask this but I figure it wont apply to the rest of the world.
Got my IVA test booked at last but not 100% sure if all the conversion work has been done properly. I've gone through the list and everything seems to be fine, clear rear indicators, side repeaters, fog light, reversing light.
The only thing I'm unsure of is the headlights? Sounds stupid but I cant figure out if they dip the right way or not. Are the lights adjustable?
Is there anything else I may have missed?
Any advice appreciated.

I think there are 4 adjustment screws for pointing the headlights in the right direction. (Long threads with a black cap on it if I remember it right.)

Get the IVA Cert.
Then choose a different path... Lots of options when the pain is over :-)

The Camaro has a flat dipped beam, therefore not dazzling oncoming drivers, even if driven on our side of the road. I imported mine in 2011, and had no adjustments made to the headlights for the IVA, and it passed. Of course, rules being what they are, change as often as the wind in this country, but I think you should be OK.

Brilliant, thanks guys. Should be ok then. Test booked for the 27th.
The wait is killing me! At the moment I just have a rather attractive garden ornament.

Anyone know where i can get what needs to be completed for the MOT test? Im bringing my ss over in November. Id like to get a jump on the lights and all now.

Thanks,

Greg

The headlights were fine, no problem at all.
I believe it is just side repeaters, rear fog light and clear lenses in the rear indicators.
I'm sure others will correct me if there is more....
