If you have factory fitted xenons then to pass your MOT you require the headlamp washer system to be in place  :nerd:

Have you got ff hids..???

He means if the car has factory Xenon lights then the headlight washers need to remain in use for the MOT. If the car has the winter pack and normal halagon headlights then you can disable the washers no problem.
