The thing is if your HID kit is not considered legal then your car is not considered legal, therefore your insurance is invalid.
technically if you went to court then you could come out with a charge of driving without insurance...
6-8 points, upto £5000 fine and risk of disqualification! Just a little heads up people!

I swear there was a whole thread explaining everything law related when it came to lights. Pretty conclusive i remember as well.
EDIT: http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=134648 This one.

Seriously a 5 year bump? All the laws that were around them back in 2007 have changed now. No hid retro fit kit is legal no matter what it says on the kit. They have to be fitted by factory.
