HIDs

2012 MOT Regulation Changes...

Products on the lens or light source that obviously reduce the light's intensity or change its colour will become a reason for failure – applies to front/rear position lamps, registration plate lamps, stop lamps, rear fog and direction indicators,

Headlight requirements are updated to take account of the particular characteristics of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps.

HID headlights can cause dazzle if they are dirty or aimed too high so car manufacturers must fit headlamp cleaning and levelling systems. A car will fail if a mandatory headlamp cleaning or levelling system is missing, doesn't work or is obviously defective.

Vehicles fitted with aftermarket HID systems must also be fitted with properly working washer and levelling systems.

If a headlamp bulb is not seated correctly the resulting beam pattern will be indistinct and this will result in a test fail.

Don't forget you'll need washers and levellers.

Yeah don't worry about the MOT bollocks... most testers dont care about that ****.


If an MOT tester failed my car for running low wattage (35w) 6000K bulbs, I'd ask why they pass the fake HID bulbs (7200K/7600K 100W) that I normally run.

I'd also hit him for being an idiot.

That's should be no problem with the FK headlamps as they are level adjusted (like the standard ones) and GT's have the headlamp washers.

I use these H7 8000k and really happy with them.
