AFAIK the MOT does not check headlamp wash, but does check windscreen wash

Its a requirement on initial installation (at the factory) but more open to interpretation if fitting them retrospectively...

Although not an MOT requirement it`s illegal under the road traffic act to have non-operational headlamp washers where HID`s are fitted. :y
