you know thats not necessarily true though matey

wythenshaw - now that reminds me...... i once bumped into the "biggest gangster in wythenshaw" in a curry house in rusholme. He asked me if i knew who he was and then he introduced himself

he seemed like a nice lad, even when he was pinned to the table by the owner but still trying to stab him with a spoon (thats how he rolled)

but i digress.....

This all depends how friendly you are with you local MOT tester!

Re: New kid on the block

They should fail at MOT if they're not the full headlight replacement (which was well over £1k to do) Blooming chavs, fingers crossed the message will get through that those cheap ebay kits are illegal for road use.

They rarely fail MOTs on any car - and almost never on a Smart.

That still doesn't make them legal though.

Re: New kid on the block

Seriously?? How often do I have to post up the hid info regarding mots???

They should always pass as long as they are correctly adjusted and have the correct beam pattern.

IF headlamp washers or auto levelling is fitted then the systems must work (defo doesn't say they MUST be fitted)

My car passed at merc garage with HIDs (ballasts stuck to top of battery and they even tie wrapped the one that had come lose)

But as above - legality is different and they aren't legal based PURELY on certification of the light unit but the same applies to led sidelights too...
