HIDs ARE a fail unless your car has self levelling, glass lenses, and headlight washers.
But brakes and suspension etc are subject to the usual checks.
Laws change on a daily basis, especially motoring ones. It's only a mater of time before they make more stuff illegal so they can fine us and screw us over.
And as much as aftermarket HID's are for faggots. There are many OEM fit HID's that do not have headlight washers.
So there is still a bit of a grey area there.
