In the Department for Transport's (DfT) view it is not legal to sell or use after
market HID lighting kits, for converting conventional Halogen headlamps to HID
Xenon. If a customer wants to convert his vehicle to Xenon HID he must
purchase completely new Xenon HID headlamps.

Therefore a HID headlamp unit sold in the aftermarket should:
1. be type approved to ECE Regulation 98 as a component;
2. when fitted to the vehicle should enable ECE Regulation 48 to be
complied with (although no government inspection will take place); and
3. comply with RVLR as far as "use" is concerned.


In practice this means:
1. The headlamp unit (outer lens, reflector, bulb) shall be type approved to
ECE 98 and be "e-marked" to demonstrate this. That can only be done
by the headlamp supplier - Hella, Valeo etc. - who must test the
headlamp in an independent laboratory.

I'm not entirely sure I understand your post, are you saying you already have HIDs and are looking to change to a different sort?

Just have a quick read of this thread:

I think there are kits that you cut the back of the headlight out and replace the bulb with a projector unit. I think one of the bolt on bits defenders had it done if I remember correctly
