I think they should also fail the MOT unless they're in projectors. Too many chavs with them in normal clusters bliding us. Bad enough with the big bosses blinding us by having them in the cars that they were meant for.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

Yep, noses get out of joint often on this topic... Not been long since the last big debate on the matter. 

All I'll say is this, if its not legal then don't do it, when it comes to cars a broken law usually affects others or puts them at risk.

I don't think it's harsh.

Infact I think anyone caught with HIDs should have their car crushed.
