LOL. How adult.
I'd better sell my 500bhp, 450 ftlbs Scooby then, had I?
Oh, sorry, too boring.
500bhp? And no decat?

None if you want to stay legal.
Recent (early 2012) changes to MoT make the use of an HID burner (bulb) in a light unit designed for halogen, illegal and an MoT fail. the e-marking on the lights easily tells plod or the tester what bulb should be fitted.
And ANY twin filament bulb in HID is an abomination, scatter, scatter and more scatter.
they look decent, but you can't see any better with them and they dazzle other road users. The first prosecution for dazzling with them has already gone through....
stick with s-called uprated bulbs, Ring 120% uprated, Halfords Ultra Brilliance, Philips Ultra vision, Osram Nightbreakers etc, you'll see almost as well with single discharge HID and better than twin, plus you'll be legal...and the bulbs are cheaper.
HID's are the best thing iv bought for my car. Go on eBay and look for H7 HID. 5000k is white, and they get bluer the higher the number.
As for MOT as long as you keep the covers on the back of the lamps it should be fine. My MOT was in January and there was no advisories about the lights.
Don;t talk pish. If you want to discuss legalities go start your own thread instead of cluttering up someone else with useless wrong information.
OP - Dipped beam you want H7R, main beam and fogs are H1 but you need to do a bit of modifying to fit them.
Sidelight you need a 501 LED equivalent. I've used some 5 SMD ones in mine and they're pretty good
500bhp? And no decat?
What does that have to do with the price of stamps?
Well your all about legality.
Mine's bigger than yours? He said she said?
What we are on about is something that can easily fail an MoT, or be picked up by plod, as they already ARE being. IF they are illegal, they ARE an MoT fail. Simple.
But as I've said before, your choice, your car.
If you want HID, do it properly: projectors.
And it's "you're" btw.......
So you have a decat then
Yes, but short of getting UNDER the car, I'd defy you to know. AND it always passes it's MoT.
AND it doesn't dazzle other drivers.......
I think VOSA care more about emissions than a set of HID headlights.
You THINK? or you know?
because I've RECENTLY had a VOSA stop. They were ALL over my lights, and I got an advisory for tinted front indicators, but they DIDN'T test the emissions, nor even look at the exhaust.
But I DO know TWO ladfs who have had plod tell them to remove HIDs, and ONE got an instant fine, Cleveland, the one in Durham just got told to remove them.
