Title: ellipsoid to zenons
Post by: Bullet on 16 September 2011, 18:47:29

can anyone tell me if the swap from ellipsoid headlights to zenons is a straight swap, i have sourced a set of zenons and would like to swap mine over but not sure if i need anything else to make them work...cheers guys

You need the plugs from the ballast units with a short piece of loom. Splice the two wires from them into the same colour wires on your dipped beam plug (yellow & brown). Fit your level motors to the new lights (plug & play). Job done. Then you need to source some headlight washers as it`s most probable that the MOT post Jan. 2012 will require these on HID`s
