Halogen to Xenon conversion - guinea pig wanted

Was flicking through some of the configuartion options available with the Autologic diagnostics for Freelander 2 today (whilst enabling cruise control on My S commercial Cool ) there are options for front lighting systems, ignoring the 'adaptive' option, anyone with Halogens as standard but with Xenons fitted want to be a 'crash test dummy' for changing the CCF to power the Xenons correctly without wiring changes?

If this works then the xenon units sold in ebay will have more demand so any one who what to do the conversion better buy them now. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

Right now when you plug a xenon unit it flickers and you can get around it by using a relay (worked for me) or a capacitor (worked for 'The doc'), if the flickering can be cured by the software then non of the above wiring workaround are required so xenon conversion can be a simple plugin. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

I have zenon adaptive now, but it has made me think for future reference when I change the car.

If I have understood this correctly, please bare with me.

1) You get hold of a set of zenon headlamp units.
2) Fit them to your FL2, simple plug in?
3) Do a bit of re-coding and job done?

Very interested to see how this pans out. Will this then also set the automatic leveling? Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
