Here is the DOT fact sheet on aftermarket xenons:

My understanding is:
HID kit = MOT failure
HID headlamp unit upgrade = £££ Crying or Very sad

United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Santorini Black

stolen quote but true :-

"Another point in connection with the legality of using after-market Xenon kits in headlights designed for halogen bulbs is insurance. All insurance policies require you to keep you car in a 'roadworthy' condition. This in turn means that they must comply with all the legal requirements and be safe to be used on the road in the UK.

Given a scenario where there is an accident and a 3rd part claims they were blinded by your Xenon headlights they police would have to check you headlights. If they found found them to be illegal or badly adjusted and with no automatic levelling you could be prosecuted and you may find your insurance company using that to get out of paying any claims by both you and the 3rd party, which would make you personally responsible for paying the 3rd party claim from your own pocket. If the 3rd party was injured that could be a fair sum of money.

Personally it's not something I would wish to contemplate." At work
