Hello foccers,
Not seen anyone post about this yet, sorry if I've missed it.
I've booked by MOT for next week, and looking at the new rules ( https://www.mot-testing.service.gov.uk/d...ection_4.2 ) it seems that my Boxeye's HID headlight conversion will fail under the "[color=rgb(11, 12, 12)]Some motorcycles may be fitted with high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps. Existing halogen headlamp units shouldn’t be converted to be used with HID bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp[/color][color=rgb(11, 12, 12)].[/color]". Doesn't seem like there's much room for leeway.

[/size]Has anyone been for an MOT since 20 May with an HID conversion fitted or am I going to be the guinea pig
[/size]?

[/size]Mine came with the conversion done when I bought it.... assuming it fails will it just be a case of snipping the wires and soldering an H1 connector in to put it back to original?
Ta,
