For mot you'd have to make sure washers worked, but I'm pretty sure for an mot pass hids need to be the right colour temp (ie not blue and I would say 5000 or lower) and the right beam pattern, as for self leveling and washers it's a case of if fitted they must work

Fuse back in for MOT of course, that said I don't think I bothered with the BMW, the minis were actually ok so I left them in operation, I've pulled the S-Max Relay though as I've already had one fly off and Ford tried to claim is was trim and not covered after a year!!.

Check this too, I just need to find a supplier where I can buy just the one!!!.

And I'll have road legal Xenons

Bingo, is Ali express Legit though?, never heard of it before. and £100$ us is about £60 so not too pricey, doubt its great but at least its ticking all the boxes.

that said, I've had no flashes from other drivers with mine in the few days they've been in. Normally the Smax gets flashes on sides and that has auto levelling. Nothing on the Leon, that said whilst better than the stock and generally very good, they are not as powerful as factory kits. Still a big improvement on Halogen's.

Just an update but I've reinstalled the hid kit and remounted the ballast on the ldgr under the headlights and zip tire the leads and resistors? Better for an oem look. Hey presto no radio interference. I think the ballast on the inner wing near the fuse box may have been the cause.

I have had no radio interference with my terminator kit, I mounted my ballets onto plastic parts under the bonnet, and well away from the fuse box/battery etc.
