Headlight tester


A headlamp beam tester is a means to check both the orientation and intensity of a vehicle headlamp to ensure that it meets a minimum standard for the country of use of the vehicle. In the United Kingdom, a headlamp beam tester is used to assess the headlight during an MOT test but in order to be used it must be approved as suitable for use in the scheme. A list of acceptable headlight testers for use within the MOT test scheme is listed on the Department of Transport website.
