Title: What does it mean to be E-marked
Post by: mass-hole on October 26, 2010, 10:25:35 AM
What does it mean for a motorcycle headlight to be e-marked? I know E is the euro equvalent to DOT but is there noticable differences between a DOT headlight and a E marked headlight?

Maybe this will help:

"...are e-approved and therefore allowed in the range of the road traffic regulations. A registration in the car documents or entrainment of extra documentation is not necessary. "

Only difference would be that the may point slighly in opposite directions eg left to right. This is due to you lot driving on the wrong side of the road  :cookoo:

However the difference on a motorbike would be not noticable if there at all, although on some cars it is.

Not sure how your registration system works but im pretty sure they won't give you too much greif over it, its probably legal

Haha yeah I know, but its universal, I only know about the headlights because I was researching a replacement for my Mazda and i was warned not to get it from the US and A because it would project in the wrong direction. So i tried the EU (england at least) but alas their wiring is different to compensate for LED's and 'snow vision'.

Just giving OP a heads up

theres a few left road side countries there right?
