Bought a car a year ago and just took it for its first warrant. I havent changed a thing on it. It failed because the park lights are green. How come it passed last year?

They were right to fail it this time, maybe the guy was half asleep last time.

maybe, just maybe the bulbs were changed after the WOF was issued.

IF the green bulbs were fitted at the time of the check then it shouldnt have passed. It's a legit fail.

They missed it. good news is that its usually a fairly easy fix. Pull the bulbs out Pull the rubber covers off the bulbs and put it all back in. or if the actually are green color bulbs then swap em for clear bulbs.

More than likely the previous owner of your car liked to drive at night with their fog lamps on and their little green park lights lit up. There is a special place in hell for them.

They dont necessary see everything every time. Just because it passed does not mean everything is legal.
Geez I dont miss hearing the How come it passed last time phrase.

Shame it's never enforced. If the police actually were 'revenue' collecting all they would have to do is a one night sting country wide and there would be millions in fines handed out at $150 a pop.

Yep, and if they wanted even more easy revenue they could sit down the road from stop signs, they would make a killing with out breaking a sweat.

Some people miss the ‘park’ bit - they drive around in low light/darkness with said lights on - and no headlights on.

Saving power. They can see where they are going so they don't need headlights.

Its not uncommon the see a Police car with a blown tail light, not as common as a Police car with a blown headlight, but I do see it occasionally. Like on Wednesday.
But on the open road, more than 10% of cars have blown lightbulbs. It's not uncommon to see 2 or 3 in a row, no, that's wrong, it's common to see that.
Tail lights is one thing. but blown headlights? On a Taxi?! For months?!
