Don't want to upset you but don't think they're legal for MOT .. you'll probs have to take them off for MOT

I will almost place my flat on that they would not pass a 'real' MOT.
Beam pattern will be all over and do you have the self leveling arm on the suspension ?
E marker for road use maybe BUT some coppers will pull you for them

Mot rules now state that cars with HID lights must be fitted with headlight washers, that's why all new cars fitted with HID lights as standard have headlight washers also, so think it will fail MOT unless its a dodgy one.

I apologise .. its all to do with the levellers and cleaners if fitted ..and if they are inoperable then the car fails ..

They have been a no go since last April really, just tester let them go.
The K value should be checked aswell but we have no way of testing them. 4300K is factory and most aftermarket kits sold are 6000k. So, in theory they could fail for producing the wrong colour light to the front of vehicle.
