I have 2x JDM vehicles that have factory HID's and no wash feature.......both pass MOT without comment

Actually they do. HID headlights require washers and must be self-levelling. The fact that yours passed an MOT doesn't make them legal, it just raises questions about the MOT, and if genuinely factory-fitted questions about EWVTA or IVA compliance.

The EGR deletion is also illegal now too, and if the cat was factory fitted its removal is too. Oh dear!

It is an eye-catching vehicle though, that can't be denied.

Not aware of any JDM vehicle with factory HID's that have washers so cant just be my MOT guy, and in actual fact both vehicles have previously been MOT'd by A.N. others so they must all be 'wrong'.........

Fit wider flares, LED headlights in place of the HIDs, and keep quiet about the exhaust and you have a winner!

It doesn't need much.

Assuming you mean Japanese Domestic Market, presumably the vehicles have been IVA'd on import and that's when it should be picked up. Inadequate HID conversion only became an MOT test failure last year so you may be in for a shock next time.

You may want to have a read of this https://www.mot-testing.service.gov.uk/doc.../class3457

Section 4.1.4 makes it clear that it has, since 2018, been a mandatory major defect if the lights are HID and either have no levelling or have no cleaning system.

Reading through that (section 4.1.5 and 4.1.6), it suggests that what you say is true 'if fitted'

Presumably, if JDM vehicles don't have them fitted as standard and they've passed the appropriate import inspection, they're good to go.

The one thing that is categorically illegal is converting an existing headlight to HID, which is clear in 4.1.4. Darren

Lovely base vehicle worth about 13 to 15k as a soft top

All the cheap extras like tyres spots winch bumpers need to be removed ideally

No way that’s worth 23k 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

thats exactly my point these are factory units not some chinese egay special..........no facility for washers ever existed

for some reason i cant access that MOT test at work but think it only applies after 2009 (if fitted)
