Xenon Headlights

Ok, I'm after a set of Xenon Headlights, But know they are hard to come by and expensive so depends on how much they are doing for

(Any guidelines to how much i'd be paying I'd be grateful for as well)

Forgot to mention I also want to sort out auto levellers for xenons. If anyone can give me some advice on how they work and what parts are needed etc etc would be very grateful!

You'll need all the loom which is an absolute pain the the ass to sort. Self levelling sensor on the back of the rear passenger suspension arm and that's about it as far as I know. All the readings and control of the levelling come from the rear sensor not the ecu so it's not too complicated.

Oh and expect to pay around £250-300 ish for a pair of xenons. Plus £100 per bulb if you use Volvo. Though they can be had for £50 a set if you go elsewhere.

The hardest bit will be the loom as it's really not easy to get to and if it goes wrong good luck! I've just spent the last month ish on and off sorting my system out and it's still kicking up codes with it on VIDA.

Thanks for the info, I might actually be sourcing a complete wiring loom for engine, interior and rear sections so if the wiring for that is in place I could be in luck... maybe... Will be a long job yet though. Will see how it goes.
