What They Gunna Be Discussing ? :L -
Whether they are good or bad e.g. do they dazzle others? Do they hurt your own eyesight? Do they make your wheels fall off?Originally posted by ZACK View Post

If the laws were upheld a bit better there'd be none of those ridiculous 10k HIDS in reflectors, and folks who wanted to retrofit would have to do it properly, ie grafting a specfic HID projector (D2 or D2S) into their headlight.
Bunging Japanese itchy fanny toy company H1, H7 and H4 etc HID kits off of eBay looks gash imo.
Have a look here to see how it's done properly http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/forum.phpComment

I've heard the same, if you have retrofitted HID's and they (or the car) do not have self levelling, headlamp washers and housed in a proper HID lamp housing they will fail it. I've also heard about aftermarket exhausts being targetted too.

The only thing thing from VOSA I've found today is a newsletter from last year where they mentioned a few things that might be changed in the MOT, such as HIDs and ECU chipping/remaps.
I'm fairly sure HIDs without self-levelers and washers are already illegal and a fail. Although that doesn't appear to stop people driving around with badly adjusted headlights that are too bright.
On a related note, I drove into work through fog today, real stuff where you can only see about 100ft, and a lot of people didn't put lights on. I wonder if they're the same people who as soon as its a bit dark, put every light they've go on!
Rant over.Comment
