Lee,
Meets, yes we do try to have a meet or two, TinTin(Steve) usually organises our "North Westish" ones. We do try to put on an A8 presence at the German Metal Show held annually at Haigh Hall, Wigan.
HIDs, when fitted OEM they have washers fitted. When retrofitted it means that you do not have to fit washers. But in Northern Ireland without working washers you would have a FAIL.
Seems silly to me, but then I am just a simple old man. I went into this when I wanted to swap to HIDs from halogens for my dipped beams. I did have problems with the ballasts causing all sorts of errors when the lights were switched on (Dis came up like an Xmas tree) . Swapped the ballasts and eventually managed to stop the interference. I think it was the nearside ballast being near the ABS block Hope that makes sense)
