  • Headlight- is it same halogen and xenon?

    Hi guys,

    Is the headlight housing itself the same on xenon and halogen? With different (swappable hopefully) electronics?

    The reason I'm asking is because a friend nicked his left headlight.
    I'm trying to help him fix it at a reasonable price....

    An entire bixenon headlight is expensive. And I thought that maybe if only glass or clips are broken, I can source a more reasonably priced used regular headlight, and swap the xenon in.

    Is it an option?

    Your best hope would be to be able to swap the lense if I read it right, by "nicked" you mean scraped?

    The internals are sometimes surprisingly different despite being for the same car.

        Mate I custom fit a bi-xenon from retrofitters and the result is perfect.
        I do have a pair of headlight in superb condition waiting for a new retrofit which I may never have time because of marriage :) so let me know if you're interested ;)
