you need ballasts

and to be legal you need the lights to be automatically height adjustable and be wash wiped from what i know

Angel Eyes will greatly improve your vison at night on the road. They usually go for about Â£179. pricey but worth it.

Hmmm I reckon if you retrofitted HID lighting to a MKVI it would have to comply!!!

i doubt it would pass mot without self levelling and washers

plus xenons are projectors and not reflectors, so standard headlamp units wouldnt be that great

Nope, i know someone with an early mk1 mini, got HID's fitted (dont have to be projectors) has passed all MOT's and has not had any bother with the police too.

I'll find the website where it tells ya about it

A quote from the 5-0 (police) website forum

Cars coming into the UK with HIDs are required by law to have both self - levelling headlights and headlight washers
