sorry, re-read your earlier post, and had to pick up on this point:

ok, with you here, sort of.
IF you fit a
HID kit, and the resulting beam and spray pattern is perfect, then I guess you could have the beginings of a case.
Of course, as soon as the person prosecuting you dumps a bag of sand in the boot, you've going to have to start talking pretty quick - but we'll ignore that for now, and stick with the idea that they haven't done that
So. Your theory behind the legality of
HID kits (and please correct me if I'm wrong here) is that if the resulting beam and spray is perfect, then how can it be illegal.
And yet, the dft quote states:
If one places a HID "burner" (bulb) in the headlamp, the beam pattern will not be correct
Does this not blow away your theory for why the
HID kits are not illegal?
Or are you disputing the dft's statement?
I'm a tad confused...
