Some new regulations are out for the MOT road worthiness test here in the UK, looks like aftermarket HiDs will definitely result in a failure without headlamp washing and leveling:

VOSA CHANGES TO THE MOT TEST EFFECTIVE FROM 20 MARCH 2013
What are the new elements to the MOT rest?
For Class 4, 5 and 7 vehicles:

Headlamp levelling and cleaning devices when fitted for HID or LED headlamps
Main beam ‘tell-tale’ warning
Battery (including batteries for electric or hybrid vehicles)
Electrical wiring and connectors

Operation of 13-pin trailer electrical sockets using an approved trailer socket tester
Operation of the steering lock (where fitted) including a malfunction warning in
respect of an electronic steering lock

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) components, including the switch (if fitted) and
malfunction warning
