Aren't they illegal if you dont have headlight washers and auto leveling? Or am I thinking of something else

i have heard this too. pretty sure its true

I did them this morning, WOW.
I ordered the pilot kit (top quality ****) yesterday from www.hids4u.co.uk at about lunch time, it landed on my door step at 9am this morning, i was out driving with them fitted by 10am
I did pay £240 for these, but dam are they worth it they give a very bright white light with a v v small hint of blue, lights everything up.
Really easy to fit, basicly take out the old bulb, drill a 23mm hole in the back plastic cover. Plug one wire in the starter things, another into the exsisting bulb wiring and put the wire from one to the other with supplied grommit and switch em on!
the image below is in the day light so u cant really see how bright it is, the bulb on the left is the xenon and the one on the right is a 1 week old Philips BLueVision bulb (seemly the most hid like out there)

Ive tried Philips Vision Plus and TBH you can hardly notice, if you fancy my one week old set tho, fire over a pm.
im ordering a 6k set this week sometime, seen them on another seat forum as a GB and seems like a good deal.
also seen the pilot kits for £240 which tempt me also, but £90 saved is £90 saved

And you are correct. There are no legal kits for the Leon to allow you to upgrade just the bulb to HID. There is a full headlight + levelling sensors + washer kit available from Holland which is ECE marked and legal, but it's not cheap. Do a search.

Is this the same kit as you got suart_hatch ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pilot-Xenon-H...ryZ23009QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
looks like a good price ?

Im off to cry in the corner
Edit: Read again, they are 8000k units, which produce a homo blue light, but still
As for them being legal, i belive the rule dosnt apply to pre 2000 cars, so mine being a 1999 car, its all good

Rubbish. The ECE 27 rules apply to all cars on EU roads.
The HID kits where you just replace the bulb are illegal to use on EU roads. Full stop. No exceptions. They cannot and do not comply with ECE 27.
If you replace the reflector, the bulb, fit high pressure washers, automatic self levelling, and the manufacturer has bothered to test the equipment to ECE 27, then you are legal.
