Will changing to LED reversing lights still pass the MoT?
I have a 2016 Renault Trafic converted to a campervan. The standard reversing lights although working are not very bright. Is it okay to replace the normal bulbs with LED bulbs? Would this cause any issues with the MoT?

There's no MoT requirement around the brightness of reversing lamps, so there is unlikely to be an issue from that perspective – but do bear in mind that most reversing lamps aren't that bright for a reason, which is mostly to avoid blinding other motorists driving towards a reversing vehicle. If you display a lamp that affects the vision of another driver, you could be deemed liable if there is an accident.
