Dingo,
Are you an MOT tester? In which case - can you clear up the question about legality of using LEDs in cars which didn't originally have them. Something about the lenses being designed for old bulbs, plus no regulation about LED light patterns (scatter etc).

Here's an article

It's OK to use them for internal lights.

Halfords sell automotive LEDs with 'offroad use only' in smallprint on the back of the packet.

Insurance companies may use LEDs as an excuse to void policies.

What are your thoughts?
(Sorry this thread is supposed to be about headlight corrosion - I did start up another thread about LEDs, but the conversation is here).
