I’m thinking that the new exige needs more light, I’ve seen a few kits that seem to do the job but was wondering if anybody has any experiance upgrading the lights.
Ta
I just picked up a xenon kit off ebey about �60 and has been going about a year so far all good 
Will aftermarket HID kits pass the new MOT?
Depends where ya go !!
What’s the news on the new test then Rob ?
I ask cos if I were to ask my tester he,d think I’ve gone mad !!
New MOT??
When did it change?
Changes coming in from 1st January 2012.
Not just lights, either

Gather all Honda conversions will fail. 
Orange paint outlawed ??
OK I can’t find anything conclusive, but i’ve got an MOT next week so will see how I get on.
Oh and does a reflash class as chipping??
This is all I found 
2011 VOSA changes to MOT
Still 13 months away until these new regulations come into force, but some interesting changes. From MOT from December 2011, the below changes will come into force, which will be very bad news for some.
HID lights � Specifically those aftermarket kits that give the very bright headlight beams. Any cars found with these kits will be an automatic MOT failure. Testers are able to easily spot the difference between HID kits, and manufacturer fitted Xenon�s. Easy to spot as Xenon cars have suspension level sensors, in car beam adjuster, and usually headlight washers.
Chipped ECU�s - Unsure of just how/if this one will realistically be enforced, but any cars with chipped ECU�s will in theory be an MOT failure. I can only assume VOSA have found an easy way of checking ECU software through the cars OBD port (diagnostic plug).
Wiring harness � The general condition of he wiring harness will be checked to make sure there is no rubbing or chaffing, and that the harnesses are in generally good condition. If unsecure, or damaged again MOT failure.
Airbag warning lights - If any warning lights are illuminated, it will again be an MOT failure.
Vosa AFAIK are only interested in commercial operations.
As far as Plod is concerned , then , good God …one in ten cars around here have a headlight completely out and still don’t get stopped ! (my pet hate )
I think we are a long way down the food chain to be endangered …
MOT & Plod are different considerations, John
All food for thought…although I’m on a diet, so not really bothered at present!
so pre MOT check list has grown:
Remove de-cat and and re-fit cat.
remove xenon’s re-fit halogen

To simplify …
Put �10 on drivers seat before giving pride an joys keys to tester
Will it be applied retrospectively though?
I did loads of research into HID kits and the conclusion is go for a 4300k kit (IMO),elise shop have these kits in(not sure if they are listed online) but basically 4300k is what most OEM cars use.
They give a much better look as IMHO there is nothing worse than a really bright and sometimes blue hid kit.
I would say mine looks very OEM and is much brighter at night really makes a difference.
Have a set of Yvo’s H7 (I think) HID’s for sale at the price paid in the pre Christmas group buy, so �40 plus VAT.
Bought them for the Vito to replace its candles, but the Canbus system didn’t like them! 
WTF do you need to have headlights on this system I don’t know - on or off, easy peasy!!
^^^sold^^^
^^^ Not sold. Still available, these are the H7 kit, so fit either early S2 main beam or later S2 dip and mains.
