They are from a 182 (i.e. are light grey inside). I was just wonderig two things;

Is this a good price?

I'd say thats a pretty good price considering the xenon bulbs are around a £100 each.

Do the xenons actually ever "go"? Whats the avg lifespan then?

 

[Fletcher]

No they don't go on for ever, i brought my Mk2 172 on 44K and i don't think they were replaced before, shes now on 57K touch wood there last me untill i change her.

O rite, ok mate, thanks for that. With them being from a 182 hopefully they will have done less miles than that and theyll b ok for a bit longer.

Thanks

i'd say they will last you a long time, i wouldn't worry about them too much.

I wanted xenon's on my car and looked at 182 lights but in the end i got a HID (xenon) conversion kit from Ring and fitted this. Its much easier to do as you dont have to drop the bumper etc to get the light out and with the kit i got the lights are much brighter than the 182 lights.

Its just a thought!!!

What about the auto level adjuster for the Xenons???

Are you able to adjust the level of the Xenons lamps with out that?

 

[manji]

Yep, just use the manual height ajuster
