hi all just wondering is it possible to retrofit the xenon headlight on a car with standard halogens ? anyone done this . any idea of the cost ?

ive had xenons on my last few cars and i am finding the light quite noticeably poor going back to halogens so if it could be done id be tempted getting the xenons retrofitted

I think it’s ‘cost prohibitive’. The units are circa £375 each but that doesn’t include the ballasts and bulbs. There’s also sensors and ancillaries required for self levelling. 

 

Not sure what wiring/loom/connector changes are required, if any. 

 

I think you’re looking at just over £1k for the parts bill alone. Unless you get lucky at a salvage yard.

ya i know it would be expensive alright ive seen a set of 2nd hand headlights ballasts etc for 399 and have found the retrofit auto leveling kit new for around 350 . just wondering what else would be involved
