I am sure this has been addressed and perhaps all I need is pointing to the relevant thread.

I want to convert my standard Morgan bullet wing mounted side lights to MOT compliant DLRL LEDs

I believe that the standard bullet light bulb can be converted to (I think) a six ish LED cluster bulb.

I also know that the existing live wire will need to be connected to an appropriate ignition on permanent live.

However, to be MOT compliant I want to ensure the DLRL are dimmed when the main/dipped beam is manually switch on. So I am assuming there is a gizmo/relay that senses/knows when power is going to main/dipped beam and consequently reduces voltage to DLRL bulbs.

Your comments surprise me. All you are going is using your side lights as a sort of DLRL, and you are allowed to run with sidelights on all the time anyway. I am sure there is no requirement for sidelights to dim when the headlights are on. As I understand it, the only difference with DLRL is that on modern cars they are designed in such a way that they cant be switched off. That rule doesnt affect you or you would have a car fitted with DLRL anyway.

You may enjoy / want the added complication of dimming as a bit of tinkering / a project, but IMO you dont need to do it for MoT purposes. Bestc check, or if you have already checked tell me I am talking nonsense. laugh
