anyone recommend what bulbs to use to replace?
Mine are the original ones, so need to replace with new ones. not much else, but would consider a professional manual conversion. Anyone know who I could go to? |

The cost would more than likely be ~20k which usually scares people away. |

If you want to go that route, better get some halogen/xenon headlights(not X+), they will become expensive and scarce once the word is out.
There are led kits and stuff already out for them, designed and sold by the Dutch. |

This kit will turn xenon headlights (not xenon plus!) into bi-xenons so you get xenon dipped beam and full beam. I'm in the process of making hybrid headlights out of xenon plus self-leveling motors and electronics, put into basic halogen headlights with those projectors in. If you look at the difference its staggering, expecially compared to xenon plus |

Oh yeah, if any of you buy this you will have to pay a ransom fee of £10 to UPS

If you ar willing to DIY fit projector units you might want to have a look at second hand LED units from other cars. 2nd gen Nissan Qashqai are pretty cheap on eBay, I got one with broken bracket for £20ish, and there are no electronics in headlight so can just be wired up like halogen.

I think I have xenon plus.. How can I check?
Simply renew the bulbs would make a difference/benefit? They are 20+ yrs old. Looking at the history, never been replaced. Re the manual...would like to drive one, but think this one is too nice to do a swap on... |
