well as ive said a few times theirs no way they could totally ban non oem fit hid's and they couldnt find a suitable test well heres the proof..

new mot rule........
[COLOR="Red"]• There will NOT be a total ban on the use/sale of aftermarket HID kits, which was a major part of the proposal. The current MOT rules state

High Intensity Discharge (HID) and LED dipped beam headlamps (whether original fitment or after-market) must be fitted with a headlamp washing system (a wiper is not required) and be self levelling. This may be achieved by the use of either headlamp or suspension levelling systems.[/COLOR] [COLOR="lime"]However, some high performance vehicles fitted with HID headlamps that have limited luggage space and stiff suspension do not require a self-levelling system.[/COLOR]

Reason for failure: A mandatory headlamp levelling or cleaning device missing, inoperative or otherwise obviously defective.....
ie if your running oe suspension and its a bit floppy it could fail.....but for the likes of me,stav etc running coilovers and the cars are quite stiff we're SORTED!!!we are LEGAL!!:kiltsmilie::kiltsmilie::thumbup1::thumbup1::thumbup1::thumbup1:
3 cheers for the mot rule makers!!

My only issue is the word "and" so if you still have a useable boot you dont have that, will have to have a full stereo setup lol

Hooray for reading between the lines.

I fit the criteria too. :thumbup:

Mine's Lowered, Stiffened, Supercharged and I can't fit a bound and gagged hitchhiker in the boot. :w00t:
