I am not sure I am following you. Are you saying that the Fazer reflector has scatter such that it WILL fail an MOT if fitted with HID bulbs, or are you saying that some reflectors have scatter problems that might fail an MOT and the Fazer reflector may or may not be one of them? As I said before, my experience is that I have not seen any evidence of drivers being blinded by my Fazer unless I have full beams on, so I must assume that the Fazer reflector is not so afflicted, but I am in Ireland where we do not have MOT testers or busy plod that put the letter of the law above safety so I can not speak to the legal aspects. However I can tell you that my wiring and reflector can still accept a traditional Halogen H4 bulb that can be fitted in 2 or 3 minutes, and I carry one one as a spare anyway, and that I have never had problems in Ireland, the UK or France.
I am sure there are some poorly constructed HID's out there, with bulbs that wobble and HI/LO out of align. Again, I can only talk about my experience of using the cheapest, nastiest Chinese knock-offs I could find on ebay which have all done a perfectly good job. Probably not a fair comparison but my mate on his GT1600 with multi-hundred euro spots has had nothing but problems with them not turning on, not turning off, falling off and pointing in random directions. In fairness, most of his problems have to do with the mountings and BMW quality control and should not be taken as an indictment on spots in general.
I am afraid that the link you gave to your spots does not work very well. Do you have another one you can use?
