If the police see the car they will pull you and the car and give you a seven day producer and tell you to have it fixed within 14 days. After you have had the work completed you will need to forward the new MOT certificate to the police.
Ja.

As far as I know headlamps bulbs now have to be "approved" and marked accordingly, for road use anyway, and I'd guess the bulbs you mention wouldn't be.
Strangely, I don't think there are any formal wattage rules, but I'd imagine you'd fall foul of The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 and the bit which relates to causing "undue dazzle or discomfort to other persons using the road".
In practice, though, I'd imagine the strain on your electrical system would be more relevant.

my answer maintains to be an identical because of the fact the final time you asked the question. No do no longer complication with the police as no injuries. No do no longer complication with coverage as extra will probable by using bigger than fix expenses - which you mentioned have been £60 final time. EDIT: on your final question you mentioned no person have been given the registration sort or information of the driving force??? The police incredibly should not be that involved as its harm to assets and not properly worth lots the two. merely settle for the soreness and pay for the maintenance.

You can't get bulbs with 100watt dipped filaments and 55 watt main beam, they have to be both 55 watt or 100watt. The 100watt are illegal, no question.

The offence would be fitting lamps with too much light output. the limit for headlamps is 55/60 watts. So you are the one who is blinding everyone.

Too bright, your likely to get cars driving into you that are blinded.
I'd advise against this 60watts is more than enough plus I didnt know you could get 100watt headlight bulbs
