    headlamps - dips out when full beam on - is this legal?

    I've managed t get hold of some German headlamps in my continuing effort to import my S2 (UK spec) into Belgium. Unfortunately it seems when I put the full beams on the dips go out. I found another thread suggesting that I need to rewire... Does anyone know if these lights will fail technical control with this defect?

    Thanks
