Mike_M Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 They will fail the mot from next year with the new regulations unless you fit headlight washers and an auto level system.Other mods are also affected.http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/car-servicing-repair/mot-changes-2012.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobG Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Aye, but i think they still need to have the headlight washers and self leveling system attached too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I read they need self levelling mech also.I read what RobG read too. Posted elsewhere by an MOT tester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Correct mike and, garages will be less lenient as they won't want it coming back to them if you get pulled over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDanni Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Curious about this, I work part time at a Toyota dealership and some of the older models (Avensis 2003 - 2008) have HID's and no washers.What's the situation with those?

chippi218 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 hi lads and ladiesi fitted my hits to the car took pics and everything BUt i ordered the h4-1 which was low light only and seemed to be a lot cheaperthen realising after no description of the product that it was low light only when i brought it the main been didn't work in the car.. so i took them out n put the std ones back inbut they were SOoo SOO bright it was unreal hahaha so i will probably just get some competition h4 65w low/100w high halogen bulbsreally gutted tho they did look epic But as the never had high beam i didn't wanna risk anything + with the new hid's rule for 2012 it was pointlessreally easy to do tho. just take out the original halogen bulb but you have to take a water tight plastic bit off that is held in by a metal brace.then to get the bulb out theresto metal clips you press and then the bulb goes floppy and then u can take it out(use rubber gloves to prevent std bulb to break/blow) then simpil connect up the water tight connection shown in the hid kit instruction manual then there will be a red and black wire with a spade connector on the ends which plugs into the little white plastic bit that you disconnected from the old bulb and the black goes to the yellow and the red goes to the brown or either way round (you'll soon know as the lights will flicker if in the wrong way round) there is also a white cable the the plastic bit which is connected to the fuse box and i believe that to be 15 amp ! then just test it all works and copy it to the other sidei didn't go as far as mounting the ballast as it was pointless me running them + my dad wasn't too happy about them anyway hahaha.ahh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjb1108 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I wouldn't fit uprated power bulbs tbh, I fitted ones like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-100w-12v-H4-472-P43T-HID-BLUE-ICE-XENON-HEADLIGHT-HEADLAMP-BULBS-/310344074771?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4841f2c613#ht_500wt_1054it ends up melting your connectors and wiring and leaves you 15miles away from home with no headlights, really wasn't worth it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
