Pressed plates....Legality / Source question...

[RetroPug]

They are in a car that was never designed for them.

Really?

So if I fit HIDS, self levellers and headlamp washers to my vectra it's illegal as they never left the factory with HIDS?

As i said above, technically yes. Although you have fitted all the parts to make them legal, they still never passed type approval with them so technically, yes they are illegal.

Also, im interested to see where you get a aftermarket HID kit with levellers. And I'm pretty sure washers aren't needed any more

If something has an E marking on it it has been type approved I believe?
What if the components used to make the kit are all type-approved, E-marked and approved etc.? Surely this would make it a legal modification, otherwise every modification no matter big or small would be illegal...
