Hi Ian,
I can confirm that HID lights are legal and you ought to have no problem with Police or MOT test. I have mine fitted to the dipped beam and it is so bright I can hardly notice when I go to high beam. No excuse for SMIDSY "sorry mate I did not see you" Best mod I ever made to a bike.
My social life is a giddy mix of hospiltal doctor and physiotherapy appointments. I am determined to get some return for years of NHI contributions
Very Best Regards, Bob.
