I didn't realise you were from across the pond!

Not.
Used to be in a workshop - 4 kiwis plus me. You pick up their bad habits.

That's more than a bad habit

No probs... I have looked into this sooooo many times and posted the same information sooooo many times on sooo many forums LOL.

If people want to put HIDs in their cars that's their choice, but when people start trying to argue that it's not against ADRs to not have levellers and washers it gets me going LOL...

The ADRs are very clear - HIDs without levellers and washers are not permitted. So your car CAN be defected if you put in aftermarket HIDs without those extras.

I'm in total agreement with you! And I'm bookmarking that ADR...

Without wishing to start an argument.. Can someone satisfy my curiosity, and tell me what difference washers make? I can totally understand the self-levelling, that makes perfect sense that you wouldn't want to blind oncoming cars. just can't see how the washers fit into the equation?

My guess, and it is a total guess, is that if there are anything that stuck infront of the light cover then it can theoretically may deflect the bright lights in the uncontrolled directions which may daze other drivers. having the washer will remove those dirt or cover obstruction leading to the light beam coming out at the manufacturer's design and specifications.
