Hello everyone, 

 

My name is Semir and I'm living in Croatia. 

 

I have Octavia 2 Sportstyle 1.9 TDI  (2006) for few months now and I'm very happy with the car! 

 

Anyhow, I'm kind of a light enthusiast so I'm getting prepared to retrofit the headlights to Bi-xenon projector headlight, with 4300K xenon (so far I have a stock halogen headlight without projectors). 

 

** I'm familiar with the law regulation that it's illegal to have xenon headlights without washers and self-levelling, and I'm familiar with the fact that I'm risking to dazzle others in traffic, although I'll be using xenon projector lens **

(so please, I think there's no need to mention it in my posts, thank you  :yes: )

 

Hope to hear lots of suggestions and to get help in retrofitting the headlight. Along with other usefull comments, of course. 

 

 

Btw, feel free (I encourage you) to correct my English, it would help me learn it faster, thanks 

 

 

Hello and welcome

It's a very friendly forum here, I'm sure you'll find all the advice you need.

I'm not sure about the legislation in Croatia. But over in the UK, if you use a projector was light with xenon it is generally considered ok without the washers. Technically it's illegal but you won't blind anyone with projectors and nobody will be reporting you. Just find a friendly MOT man

Thanks, James! 

 

Hopefully won't be any problems... on the other hand, it's quite easy to change the headlight unit on Octavia, so I could change it back to normal halogen headlamp once a year 

 

Anyhow, I'll definitely start a new topic about progress of retrofitting the headlights, so you can all walk me through with suggestions and help
