Thanks Bruce for the quick response! I think it's better not to touch it.

If you look at your current pre-LCI, you will notice that's the same as well. One Brake light doesn't come on until you press the Brake hard. I have simply interchanged the positions of the Brake bulbs from Outer to Inner. So YES, these will pass UK MOT.

Can I change the position of the brake bulbs so that the outer bulb lights up when I push the brake pedal? How can I do it?

The V6 cables would do that, you have the 6.1 which swaps the position of the brake light so you can see the rods better while braking. I'm still unsure on which I prefer.

With the V6.1's the outer light will come on when you slam the brakes hard so if you want them both on you could always brake aggressivly
