It is not law in the strictest sense. You would not be pulled over for having an aftermarket kit fitted. Perhaps for dazzling somebody, but highly unlikely. It is all to do with type approval and also passing the Ministry of Transport test (MOT).

Many people having been getting away with fitting aftermarket Xenon conversion kits for other cars especially on Audi and VW cars, and have not failed the MOT. Still a risky exercise fitting them.
