Ok.. had a word with mot man in work 2day.. he showed me the speical notice for the new rules which come into force tomorow(20/03/2013)
Then we went on the mot computer to see what failures are on there..
Now from what i read, if you have hid's fitted from standard and they have auto levelers and washers, they have to work.
There was no failures for aftermarket fitted hid's fitted into non projector headlamps, or any headlamp as it happens.
As for washers and levellers needing to be fitted to aftermarket hid's there is no mention of it at all or any failures that i could see.
Now the only reason i could see aftermarket hids being failed is the beam image, as they are not designed to be fitted in normal lamps hence dazzling other road users may come into it.
Saying that i had hids in both mine and alys coupes for 3 years or more and the image was spot on..
