Aero HID Headlamps - MOT pass

Re: Aero HID Headlamps - MOT pass
I recently fitted HID lights to my motorbike and so just before my MOT was due I contacted the MOT station I use to ask if HID's would indeed fail the MOT, the answer I got was as long as they are at the right level's there would be no problem, new 12 month ticket issued with no advisories
Bongo no more........... ;-(
