They have changed since 20th May 2018.
The new requirements are published on Dot Gov.
https://www.mot-testing.service.gov....ust-noise.html
The requirement for exhausts is that: ‘The exhaust system and silencer should be in such condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the motorcycle isn't clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar motorcycle with a standard silencer in average condition.’
And for HID it says: ‘Some motorcycles may be fitted with high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps. Existing halogen headlamp units shouldn’t be converted to be used with HID bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.’, so a HID fitment is OK, whereas a HID bulb in a H4 type reflector an lense isn’t.
