I thought they were already prohibited as HID headlamps require working headlamp washers.

Interestingly that conversion to LED doesn't seem to be prohibited.


There were exemptions to the washer requirement and self-levelling mechanism if the MOT tester was satisfied that due to the stiffness of the suspension or the weight of the vehicle, there was limited beam deflection over road undulations. My LR Defender got thru its MOT each year on this basis. HIDs now removed in favour of LEDs.
