Title: Xenon confusion
Post by: rb25deturbo on 10 June 2010, 07:31:06

Can anyone tell me what the numbers mean on Xenon Headlights, for example ILL 009 050 04/24 or 009 193 413 . What are the differences between these two examples? The first are from my car and the second are from another omega. Would i be able to install the other ones in my car. Im confused( and tired!)  :P :o

HIDs/Xenons do not have a level adjuster on the main light switch & take a second or 2 to 'warm up'

Projectors look similar but use a normal H7 bulb & do have an adjuster on the main light switch.  :y
