Ok, before I start, I've read the countless debates on the legality of retro fitted xenon headlights to a car that hasn't got washers or auto levellers.
Please don't turn this thread into one of those "debates".
These two features can be & will be fitted at a later date.
Right then...... I've started to hatch a plan!
At the moment, I have an Ultimate H7R 5000K HID kit installed which is great. I've had no problems with it but I would like to have the sharpness & look of the OEM projector lamps.
Having read a post about retro fitting OEM bi-xenon lamps, it seems it will cost at least £500 for installing the lamps alone.
Not wishing to spend that amount (well, I am from Yorkshire!), I searched the net for an alternative.
My plan is to get hold of a spare pair of halogen headlamps, remove the halogen reflector & fit bi-xenon projectors, D2S bulbs & then use my existing ballasts.
I have found a source for the projectors, bulbs & wiring adapters, so now I need to source a pair of cheap headlamps.
Anybody know how much they are from a dealer?
This is going to take a lot of work, but if I have a spare pair of headlamps then I don't have to rush the job. Plus I like put my own subtle touch on the cars I own.
Updates will follow.................
