gn250 failed warrant of fitness

Oh, dear God! Please tell me it ain't so! That is so cheap and nasty. Not to mention dangerous. Is there a seal in there?

The headlight innards consists of a lens and a reflector with a hole in it for the bulb. The lens is sealed to the reflector and the bulb has a nice rubber grommet affair to seal the unit at the back. The whole unit is held into the headlight surround by a couple of spring clips which you have to take off to access the bulb when it blows about 3 months after you have purchased your bike new These clips are simply useless really, hence the blu tac fix. It works well!

Now i have new headlight and I got warrant of fitness. Old headlight was made in China, this new is made in Japan and seems it is better quality, but VTNZ, them opinion it is not what it should be. First they wanted to fail it again, because those vertically flutes in the headlight lense doesnt go exactly vertically and them opinion i should try to rotate it a little bit.. It is not possible to rotate it. Headlight is sealed unit and it is not ment that I can pull it parts and rotate it and it is only one way how I can install headlight in to the chrome housing. It seems that it is designed to be just like this what it is.. Anyway finally I got warrant, "because it is not major problem". I dont understand..

Do you think its something seious? Plz tell me its not...
