172 Xenon's to Cup Headlights ??

[threezeroalpha]

Im sick to death of the state of the yellowish, scratched & faulty Xenon headlights of my recently bought 172.
Ive noticed that the 172 Cup doesn't have Xenon headlights but ones that are the same as on my old 1.2 i still have.
long story short is can they be swapped and if so how hard??

Just swapped my Cup ones for Xenon's today, straight swap.

Although I would buy a 3M Headlight Restore Kit and make the Xenon's mint again. Unless you want some cash and sell them I guess

So vice versa its a straight swap from Xenon's to Cup? the numpty that owned it before me looks asif hes tried cleaning them up with very coarse sand paper and made them worse, not to mention the nearside headlights dont even work at all

They'll be a straight swap from your 1.2.

Can sell the xenon units for some coin on ebay or here too.

I have NO idea why people do this.
The non-xenons are shite.

Get a 3m restoration kit - 3 hours with some sand paper and the kit removes all scratches completely.
If the bulbs are yellow - get some after market hid bulbs 6000k or whatever floats your boat and chuck those in.
Why anyone would go back to poverty spec lights is beyond me

I fitted xenons to my cup as one of the first mods and I'd never go back even on a track car lol
