HID's are only illegal if you do not have auto Headlight leveling & washers.

ADR 13 requires that all vehicles fitted with headlamps (including HID) producing over 2,000 lumens (a measure of light output) have a self-levelling system and headlight washers.

I see a lot of Cars on the Road @ night these days with the HID's not leveled correctly and quite blinding to other drivers. It's Pretty unsafe & IMHO is a fair rule .
