Hi - you just need it for the main beam...

 

1. All obligatory and optional headlamps must be fitted as “matched pairs”.

2. They must be operational

3. They must be fitted in the correct orientation as would be on an approved vehicle.

4. They must emit a white light.

5. When on dip or main beam they must emit sufficient light to be able to illuminate
the road in front of the vehicle

6. The correct number must be fitted to the vehicle
7. Dipped beam headlamps must be positioned to meet the requirements of Table 1

8. There must be a tell tale when on Main Beam. (see note 1)


Note 1: The “Main Beam” tell tale can either blue in colour,

or a tell tale (any colour - preferably blue) with the symbol

(see section 33) or a tell tale any colour and the words Main

Beam or Main
