Not a problem, HIDs 'may' be fitted with self levelling and wash sytems, and if so, must work.
Even if a car has a levelling system fitted, it's near impossible to check it's working properly, so the car must be issued with a pass. Likewise with washers, if someone glued down the washer jets and hid the pipework and wiring from view, it's a pass.
Having said all that, I don't know about the road laws, but I believe the lighting regs are the same for both mot's and the traffic cop laws, so all should be good assuming like Tucpal mentions that alignment and pattern are good.
One thing to remember though, the lights might be legal, but alarm bells may ring with the cops or mot tester that the car has had the 'boy racer' treatment elsewhere, so a slightly closer look for missing cats/dpf's, cut springs etc may follow.
