Had mot done a few days ago and realised coupe is fitted with HID's (by Joe at FCSS I think) and nothing was said? I was expecting at least a comment about washers or adjusters and even got ready to swap over to normal bulbs? Anyone else passed recently with HID's..?

Nismo, though new MOT rules didn't allow aftermarket HID's so was expecting a comment at least?!! Perhaps not all MOT stations are fully upto date with implementation of new rules or just lucky?

It is not yet a fail, it is odd but you may get an advisory but not yet a fail.

Mine passed 3 weeks ago with HID's,advisory for lack of washer but who cares.

Looks like mot folk not sure about hdi's then! Perhaps it's because the coupe looks like it should have them anyway and also even with hdi's fitted still wouldn't dazzle a mouse!!! rolleyes

No, it is because they are not a fail item yet.

The previous owner of my Coupe installed HIDS, are they easy to swap to normal bulbs for the MOT?
