PMSL at people reading the internet and arguing with a guy who does the actual job, been to the seminars, asked the questions and shown a document with an issue date of 31 jan 2012.
I swear some people just love to argue on here.
The Internet is not always right people, next you will be quoting from Wikipedia
So to summerise
1) If you have aftermarket HIDs fitted already you will pass an MOT but get an advisory regardless of the fact if you have self leveling headlights or washers (but if you do they must work)
2) It is now illegal to sell and fit HID conversion kits (although like with 100w bulbs etc there is the usual 'for offroad use only' loophole)
Personally i think they should have made it a fail unless you have projector style headlights as on normal headlights its like 2 500w halogen search lights on the front of the car
