HIDs illegal or not? - Nemo - 24:th-Jan-2016 Once and for I want some clarity as to the legality of HIDs. Am I correct in thinking that even if you convert your unit into a projector unit and then install HIDs it's still illegal? I read somewhere that they need to be e marked for approval. That means that technically we can't have legal HIDs in the UK as they don't make Astra projector lights except for the ones on eBay and I don't think they're e marked RE: HIDs illegal or not? - Jj0063 - 24:th-Jan-2016 Legality and chance are very different. Technically illegal if retrofitted without self balancers & washers IIRC. I'd say in the last 5 years I've had them fitted for 4 of those years and never been pulled over, gone through MOTS etc. So many cars these days have ridiculously bright white lights they'd never know the difference as long as you don't get blue, stick to 6000k or below. HIDs illegal or not? - Rusty2009 - 24:th-Jan-2016 HIDs are not to be fitted to halogen lamps. You can fit aftermarket e-marked units. You don't need self levellers manual are fine also you don't need headlamp washers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: HIDs illegal or not? - J1ODYA - 24:th-Jan-2016 Go on the gov.uk website as there's a document that explains all... sorry can't find a link off my phone Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk HIDs illegal or not? - Rusty2009 - 24:th-Jan-2016 http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=223 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk HIDs illegal or not? - Nemo - 27:th-Jan-2016 So does that mean that the lights that @Tucpal had are illegal? Are there any projector units that e marked and deemed legal? HIDs illegal or not? - Tonto - 27:th-Jan-2016 I have these on watch on eBay.
