Update existing Xenons

Post by Dodge » Wed May 01, 2013 3:29 pm

I have existing Xenons (non HALO) on a pre- face lift Sport.
I'd like to freshen the front up with some new lights with Halos.
Do I have to use Xenons again as there don't appear to be many available, although I've come across various Halogen update headlights.

Should be possible to buy Depo's (with projector lens) and then take the connectors and the ballast over to the new lights.

Have a search for depo's.

Sanj, are the depo's self leveling? if the OP already has Xenons the internal level adjust switch won't be in the car.
