No longer permitted to fit HID bulbs to halogen H/Lamp units

Postby paul2012 » Mon Jan 22, 2018 12:43 am

For members that have fitted HID bulbs to Halogen headlamp units.

HID bulbs fitted to halogen headlamp units are NOT permitted & as of 20th May 2018 will result in MOT refusal :!:

See here for more new MOT rules coming into force as of May 2018. They include more tighter rules for DPF's & EGR's etc.

If you wish to use HID then you should replace halogen headlamp unit for a HID headlamp unit :wink:

It's never been allowed here. Even if you bought HID compatible clusters you'd have to have automatic self-leveling system installed.
