Lennym1984 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 In answer to your question, check ebay. They are regularly on there for 200-300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ken Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Draft MOT regs suggest they might fail the MOT from May as not OEM, and don't have self levelling or washers. Worth checking before spending your money! (DVSA's site somewhere). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow 911SC Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 These can be used with standard halogen bulbs so won't fail an MOT. I have seen some fitted in the flesh and they look ok to my eyes. Never seen them anything cheaper than £800ish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That986 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 If it wasn't for the hideous size of the indicator they wouldn't look too bad, as is they are a bit chavtastic...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraintthomas Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 HID's don't fail MOT's, this has been confused many a time. Levellers and washers have to work only if present. It doesn't state that they need to be present with a HID bulb, just that they have to work if they're present on a xenon setup. The only thing that would fail a HID on a MOT is colour and cut-off. If both are fine, then it will pass. This has been confirmed by VOSA with a letter I sent to them, and my garage has been completely fine with it.

PaulDash Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Has the OP or anyone here mounted these? There seems to be a Gen 2 version with a smaller indicator/DRL. I'm interested in buying these but am also worried that they don't meet EU regulations and would require leveling/cleaning due to them being a projector light. Any info on that?

Berni29 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Hi I did this to mine. The difference in light output is night and day. Its a real faff to do the conversion though. https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipOG9nEsi_Dj6iOotzT4GeqawNCIcb0G99zJXRXX/photo/AF1QipPrhQ6lG6cc-MD4s9WV7TA8wgzfHzjTn02oNbQc Berni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(go to DVSA's site). They are even now a fail if fitted to a motorcycle as an after market upgrade. (I have to change back to candles, then refit HID and ensure they conform to the MOT beam settings.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunks Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I have these fitted ... the cheap ones on ebay at £300 are for LHD . As for passing an mot test, Mine have passed 2 now with no problems. They are not Hid so are not part of that regulation , but also an mot tester cannot remove the light to inspect, as long as the beam pattern is ok, then they have to pass, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulDash Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thanks for the feedback, though you guys are saying two different things about the MOT. I'm in Poland so different regulations will apply... and they have become very strict with actually respecting the rules. Also, the LHD is what I'm looking for! So the question remains on build quality. Rev Ken? Dunks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon actually commented positively on them when we went on a run to the Milkshed a few weeks back. I also fitted decent led indicator and reverse bulbs as only the red light parts are integral led. I also wired the nearside fog to work so got both sides. Fit is ok but not perfect and they are e marked and legal. Oh and I paid £112 delivered from Germany off the bay of evil. Great customer service as the first set they sent had suffered at the hands of the air freight company and broken a tiny part off a corner, replaced quickly without issue.
