Vosa

I have just posted a reply on HIDS and thought I would post the same here for everyone to read.

I work as a vehicle examiner within VOSA and keep an eye on the MOT garages. I basicly look after the MOT scheme on behalf of the Secretary For State. With regards to the 'pass/fail' criteria for HID headlight aim at test I can give you a difinitive answer.

As long as the level of the light is at the correct hight and the cut off/break point is going the right way (to the left) then it will pass this part of the MOT.

There is no fail criteria as yet in the testing manual and there is no requiremnts for ant auto levelling.

If you have any questions regarding any part of the MOT don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

If I dont know an answer (which I probably will!) I will find out.

Hope this helps

While I am on HIDS which is the best brand to buy?

Not for the MOT. We would not stop you on any public highway and issue a prohibition, (stop you from driving the vehicle with a defect), either.

You do not need them for ordinary lights so this would be the same for aftermarket HIDs.
