Just fitted HIDs!!

[quote=rez]Mine seems fine with standard lights - 06 model. As mentioned it could be that I don’t know what I am missing…

Anyone know how strict they are likely to be on this under the new 2012 MOT rules? [/quote]

I’ve just had my TT , MOT’d and they said the new rules are all about alignment and also ’ for road use’, i.e . As fitted by idiots in go faster Corsa’s :wink:


The presence and operation of these headlamp cleaning and levelling devices has been added to the test. Therefore, if a mandatory headlamp levelling or cleaning device is missing, inoperative or otherwise obviously defective, the vehicle will fail.

The Department for Transport considers that after-market systems should be required to meet the same safety standards as that applied in respect of these lamps at vehicle Type Approval. Therefore, in order to pass the MOT test, vehicles fitted with after-market HID systems would also need to be fitted with headlamp cleaning and self-levelling systems.

but remember the other words regarding self levelling systems and sports cars - not given in the actual manual but from the same source…

eveyone will have to make up their own mind but at least they will have all the facts first.
