dont know if it helps guys but my car had to go for a Vosa check after an "incident" where they basically carried out  STRICT MOT
as i fitted Hids 2 years ago thought it may be a it dodgy but the guy passed it no problem and asked me if i found much difference?
dont have headlight washers either and clean them once in a blue moon ;D
so just fit if you want them!!

How long you back for? fancy helping to fit some to mine?  :P

I've had a response from DfT, and they say the factsheet is their interpretation of the current laws in place.

I am awaiting further information from them, so hopefully we can get definative answers on this recurring debate once and for all.

It won't - the aftermarket kits are definately not legal.

Whilst there may be some grey areas with relation to washers/levelling (though not according to DfT), aftermarket upgrades for fitment into halogen headlights are much more clear cut - it is illegal to sell, fit, or use these on the UK roads.
