This might be of interest to anybody with will it/won't it pass type questions, or just general interest in the regulations that our cars are tested against...

Interestingly, according to that, additional front driving/fog lights are not included in the MOT inspection....

First thing I looked for (my bits underlined):
http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/htdocs/m4s01000701.htm

Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps may be fitted with headlamp washers and a suspension or headlamp self levelling system.

Where such systems are fitted, they must work; however, it is accepted that it may not be possible to readily determine the functioning of self levelling systems. In such cases, the benefit of the doubt must be given

Will be taking this piece of evidence with me when my MOT is due and the tester fails my HIDs (with projectors I might add, so the beam pattern is totally fine!)
