Just to mention that if you involved in a crash with another car and as part of a claim the car is checked by an assesor they might spot the HID kit and since they are illegal it could invalidate your policy. Something to keep in mind, assesors are eagle eye'd and will look for any reason to not give away money.

If you've delcared your other mods to an insurance company then surely you'd have an idea about the kind of bulbs in your car  :tongue: It wouldn't be like an insurance company to be sympathetic about it anyway, illegal add on means they don't have to pay, so they won't.

wrong and right... they will pay a 3rd party (so who ever you hit or whatever you damage inc passengers) but if they invalidate your policy they then claim the money from you directly (and take you to the cleaners for a long time!)

Yes but what happens (heaven forbid) if in that crash you were injured etc and could not get back to the car.

Technically not. Injured or not I'd still be able to ring my dad!
