The colour of your compliance plate. If green, first scheme, if purple, 2nd scheme.

It also depends on who did it, mine was imported under the new scheme and they left the HIDs in.

Maybe, but doesnt comply with the ADR's for the 2nd scheme so is defectable im afraid.

I bought it from the dealer that imported it and asked them if they'd look for them and they said they'd been thrown out already

tada!
Didn't even know such thing existed when I had my first FTO. Came across these after I've sold the car..
Bought these brand new from England, I'm surprised someone still make the parts for FTO. maybe its left over stock?
