Hang on...
Do i get from this that Xenons can be fitted to the existing setup with only a CCF change??
No need to buy an upgrade kit??

correct Thumbs Up

although you must by law have headlamp washers and auto levelling
99% of FL2 are fitted with washers but have manual levelling so technically they wont pass MOT with Xenons and manual levelling..... Whistle

Depends on the year. The 2013 do not need the wire adapters just the CCF change
Pre that date need adapters and CCF

I have the adapter loom if anyone needs it

A xenon bulbs conversion is not recommended
The beam focus from the halogen unit is not suitable
What has been discussed here is a factory unit swap
Xenon bulb kits come with their own adaptors to make them fire up. But you won't find any recommendations on this site for that way of changing.

Or second-hand. Brand new would be bank braking

a set of 2013> Xenon full replacement headlight units with signature strip can be found for as little as £200 the pair if your lucky or upto around £450 per headlight if your not lucky or feeling rich.

Physically they are a straight 10 minute swap for the existing halogen ones, total plug and play. But you will need to get the CCF edited to accept Xenon HID lights or they wont fire up correctly if at all. The editing can be done for around £50 upwards depending on where you go.

the HID conversion kits have varying opinions raised on them by forum members, but can be bought for around £80 and DIY fitted. No editing of the CCF required if im correct.

But as has been mentioned earlier, the car 'should' fail MOT as there is no automatic headlamp levelling, just the manual dial next to your right knee where the little coin tray is so worth bearing in mind.
