[E60] NCT failed on HID bulbs in non-HID headlights ...wtf?

[crosswired]

I had the same issue with my car where it came with HID aftermarket bulbs installed when I bought it. It passed the NCT two years ago no problem. The headlights are projector type. On it’s last NCT this year it failed. I was told that aftermarket HID bulbs would not pass and that they had to be factory fitted HID’s with headlight washers.

...thanks mate .... so no point in lodging any complains then...
on other hand, there are a lot of cars with factory HIDs but without washers, how do this work ??? really, theres no logic in it at all

There are vert little cars with factory xenons an no washers, apart from some japanese imports hondas/evos etc. All euro spec cars must have washers and auto leveling for factory xenons.
