i think the conclusion was you should be ok, its only if the car was equipt from the factory that they then need to be in place for the test, so you cant take things off that were on the car but you can add items, this is how i interpreted it as anyways lol someone else will need to clarify for correctness though.

Mine passed last year with HIDs fitted (and not standard) - as I understand it, so long as the beam pattern is ok then you should pass...

your car will be fine...infact any car will be fine as the words may be fitted is in the wording of the manual which means may or may not......its what you call a loop hole..

and dave you have a very friendly mot tester who is good to you...lol

but dave is right make sure they are alighned correctly and youll be fine
