mot with hids

[cutchy]

just a quick question iv got my car booked in for an mot and servise the morn and was just wondering if it will be ok with the hids fitted or will i need to put normal bulbs back in for the day

[paul_sri150]

hmmmmmmmm grey area i think, depends who is going to test your car

if you are waiting around, you could always buy a set of replacement bulbs, and if there are problems just say you will fit them later, then take them back after you get your certificate

MOT tests the beam pattern doesn't it?... Should pass. I know mine will as the guy who fitted them will be doing the MOT!!

my volvo v70 tdi has got aftermarket projectors on and has got hid in dipped and main beam and passed the last two tests no problem.

Took my car to a vx dealer for mot and passed with hids. And they were the 50w 4300k.

As long as they're not too blue they should be fine. But as said have a set of standard bulbs ready so you can swap them over and get a partial retest done straight away.

im thinking of 50w 4300's next but looking at the lenses in my vec, id say they need cleaning as i had the same problem on an other car.

has anyone ever stripped vec c projector headlights down to clean them on here before as im realy looking to do mine.

Dont ask me where on here, but some one did finely sand the outer lense with some cleaning compoud.

The results looked fantastic. Need to do a search. It was about 4 months ago i reckon.

the outer plastic is fine, its the inner dome lens thats cloudy and im my experience, it just wants a wash but its getting to it lol

last ones i did were bonded but came apart after 30 mins on gas mark two hahaha.

Think all the inner dome lenses look cloudy to be honest. Thats why they give poor light output.

Thats why we use hids.
