********, I cannot legally change my quartz halogen for HID lamps.

Not so. I have HID headlamps on my Rover. They weren't invented when it
was built. No problem at MOT time.

If you have self levelling suspension and headland washers then they are
legal. MOT doesn't check for lamp type, only beam pattern.

Otherwise they are not legal;

BULL****. If they pass the MOT they are legal.

and you wouldn't want to be in a prang when the third party says your
headlamps were blinding him, and so contributed/caused the accident.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

If you want to take the risk of your insurance company taking away
everything you own,

No insurance company can do that.

then so be it. You have told them, haven't you?

No legal requirement to do that.

If they don’t ask about it, there is no legal
requirement to tell them about that.
