The law regarding HID in the UK

Hi Rob, All interested parties.

See this from the DfT website
Department for Transport - Aftermarket HID (Xenon) headlamps

It would be surprising and maybe disturbing to see clear and unambiguous policy from a government dept.

It's not surprising to see policy failing to reflect the actual situation on the ground, given that technology is clearly moving faster than the regulating body/s can act.

Nonetheless, this statement is pretty clear regarding the DfT's stance re aftermarket HID, and it does give the aftermarket boys a loophole within which they can legally produce aftermarket HID kits, albeit in the form of complete lighting systems.

Funny old world..
