carl0s Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 OK point taken but except those with UK spec cars there is still the problem regarding washers and self leveling which could still have them fall foul to the "old bill"! The UK ones don't self-level either. They have an electronic levelling control near the foglight switch. settings 1 - 3 (or 4). The HID autolevelling system is one that automatically levels itself as the road conditions change. I think most people already knew all this (I did anyway ) but basically the way I understood it was that: OEM HIDS are required to have self levelling etc, and it must be working. i.e. on a new Porsche or Range Rover. There are no laws regarding aftermarket HID kits, so this is all irrelevant to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Sorry Gamer but when I said worth the gain I meant this is relation to value versus fine or failure. Not meaning to be a scaremonger but just letting people know that the 'boys in blue' have yet another way of lightening pockets!!! Yes mate, I fully understood what you were relating it to.

GetawayDriver Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 These rules about self leveling don't apply to MOT's, only to SVA and ESVA and only to cars manufactured after a certain date... not sure about the lens cleaning, never heard of that one.
