Hi have the standard none projector pre LCI lights with auto level but no washers.

Has the days of a simple plug and play gone ? (Thinking MOT)

Your MOTs is not the main problem, blinding other road users with HIDs in reflector lens is a no-no, don't do it

If you have no projector... you shouldn't have HIDs... Some Volvos have specific shrouds designed to project the HID light correctly. As yours were designed for halogen bulbs... don't bother

Why is it HID (spark lamps) need this special projector lens but filament / LED does not?
The dipped beam head lights on my e220 are LED and there is no projector lens just the LED and reflector.
