Those look like the "out of business" InPro ones but I could be mistaken.
The InPro ones were TUV approved and passes the MOT without issue.

Look ok to me and yes they will fit fine. As long as they're fully E marked they will pass MOT with no problems.  :happy2:

^^^^ cheers bud.  :drinking:

IMO it does make a difference, aesthetically anyway. Fairly simple to fit, took me about 30 mins for the first one and half that for the next one.

I've put them on (I think mine are the same), and no problems at MOT time. As said, they flash just as brightly.

Just a heads-up - I tried ordering these from Venom late last year, and they couldn't tell me when, or if they would have them back in stock.

I bought a set from PSI tuning in the end - they weren't Inpro, but quality seems good. I haven't fitted them yet, but PSI were very good - emailed me to say they were not in stock, and had to order in from Germany - in the end they arrived in a few days.
