You have to remember when Con & Use was introduced ie when HID was just a twinkle in the eyes of the manufacturers.
You're unlikely to find definitive stuff online about it and/or with MOT testers. VOSA would be the easiest people to contact, but I would always take my cue from the bike manufacturers themselves. Let's face it, if they were legal don't you think BMW would have them on their big tourers??
They are currently an anomaly with MOT testing very similar to the big problem we currently have with tinted front windows on cars. These are illegal, but they will pass the MOT cos they aren't on the list. That's because currently they can't agree who will pay for the testing equipment. It doesn't stop you potentially ending up at the Old Bailey like this bloke. Nor does it stop you winning points and a fine from me.
