For IVA the car looks like Mickey Mouse with big ears (headlights) sticking out. If you bolt a piece on to mount the headlights correctly for IVA then when it comes to your first MOT 3 years down the line the lights will pass if lowered and looking more sensible.

Update on headlight positioning, If i am understanding the IVA manual and the very helpful post by jgilbert then they are bang on and dont need adjusting. They are: 350mm from the outside of the wing (max 400mm) 550mm from the floor (minimum 500mm maximum 1200mm) |

The position height / width is fine but need to check the visible angles as well. I think your nose will obstruct the 20degree for opposite side angle, believe you still need to see at least 50% of the light? Chapter 20 of manual gives all the angles.
I did the same and there is an obstruction using that mounting. |

Yep - I did the same, it's very rough and I'm not sure you are seeing "50% of the apparent surface" from the other side.
For the sake of a bracket wasn't going to risk it, that's not an easy fix on the day of the test. |

Hi Shane, saw your build at MEV owners day looks good. Had my Iva a month ago and my light failed in the position yours are in the manual states it is only 20 degrees inwards for sidelights and indicators not headlights, therefore need lifting up above the bodywork. I'm in the Facebook group if you want to see how I did mine.

I can also show you why the dominator beam pattern fails and how I've adjusted it internally for a flat beam pattern no rotation of the lens required
