Salford, UK - June 2025 - As the summer getaway season begins, HIDS DIRECT is urging UK drivers to double-check their headlight bulbs before hitting the road - warning that faulty or dim lighting could lead to MOT failures, roadside penalties, or serious accidents.

According to DVSA data, lighting and signalling issues remain one of the top causes of MOT test failures. With longer evening drives and increased traffic during school holidays, the risks are even higher.

“We see a spike in urgent headlight orders every July,” said a spokesperson for HIDS DIRECT. “Many people don’t realise their bulbs are fading until they’re pulled over or fail their MOT. Upgrading to LED can prevent that hassle and increase visibility.”

HIDS DIRECT offers a wide range of plug-and-play headlight LED bulbs for most UK vehicles. Designed for road-legal brightness and Canbus compatibility, these upgrades help drivers stay compliant without complex wiring or coding.
