Plus diesel emissions to be lower.

glad I have never owned one.....

Red elswwhere (but not read the actual document) that they are going to
clamp down on aftermarket HID conversions - even if the beam pattern
passes the test. But as usual are behind the times, as it's LEDs which are
being used these days. And are often worse for scatter etc than HID,
depending on headlight design.

That'll be interesting, as VOSA already issued a letter some years ago
stating that they would not prevent the use of aftermarket conversions,
as long as they had good beam pattern, as it would be unfair to hold
aftermarket conversions to a higher standard that type approved vehicles
- some of which had neither self-levelling nor wash.
