The key words are the first in the paragraph
In the Department's view
The lighting regs don't mention HID and so they are neither legal nor illegal as they are not mentioned in the regulations. Its a grey area so its up to you.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

Originally posted by henocsrAll HID lights are technically illegal, unless fitted with auto head lamp leveling, to ensure the beam is always in the right place, and head lamp wash, to insure the beam pattern is not incorrect.
Only new OEM fitment lamps must have headlamp leveling and headlamp wash. There are no such rules for aftermarket fitment lamps.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

The lighting regs don't say that, they don't mention HID at all.
The DTF's opinion is that they should only be fitted to HID designed lamps but that isn't legally binding.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register
