No headlight washers tho.

Not needed on Mainland UK, so why fit them?
Regards not needing them on UK mainland??? Some testers WILL fail you for not having them but I'll check with dave or Gareth at work and they can advise me better as I don't have an mot cert  :sad1:

Mainland the rule is that you MAY have to fit washers. Northern Ireland is stupid and the rule is you MUST.

the mainland requires them only if they were fitted from factory, in your case not.

I know Ireland is funny and have high pricing for road tax as a coupe of tt users expressed this to me.

Silly rules really.

I've also read somewhere that if you fit after market bi xenons you also have to fit washers in place but cannot remember what website or who's site it was.

Update edit blah di blah

You don't need washers and headlight level sensors if they weren't fitted as standard but if they are fitted must work.
Also this doesn't mean your car is road legal and can effect your insurance if you haven't told them. Police can stop you for these also.

The after market lights must be angled correctly and not dazzle other road users.

This is what I mentioned in another post in here too.

Thanks  :smiley:

No difficulties at all.
Level fine with the internal switch at three stages.
Coming home lights can be switched off via vcds so when I get home and turn the ignition off the lights turn out and I lock the doors via remote. once returning to the car I unlock via remote and the lights come on as I prefer the lights to come on at night  :smiley: I will be switching the coming home lights off when the weather and daylight returns.
