I suppose some countries authorities may object to not having dedicated lights for both position and DRL but as suggested only the one is provided ex factory on the Roadster.

I agree with you Peter, the new factory fit LED headlamps do look the business but what is their price?

Richard. I have a feeling that DRLs became obligatory on new cars from 2011. Morgan probably was allowed more time because most of the cars produced in 2011 were existing models, for example my 2012 Plus 4 does not have them. Probably as soon as they changed engines, Roadster and GDI Plus 4 etc they would have been obliged to fit them.

One thing I don't really understand is why DRLs are only used on the front. I would prefer to have the tail lights on all the time too.


Peter you are correct 2011, there was an exemption for any model produced prior to that date not to have them. Vauxhall where one of the manufacturers to take advantage of this exemption. I remember somebody who was buying a new Vauxhall asking the salesman if it came with DLR he replied yes. When collected they weren't fitted, said gentleman went back to complain and was told if you want DLR just turn the dip lights on.
