I am still none the wiser My dads 172 has them as it's a normal 172, i've no idea what i'm looking at though.
Can someone show me pics of the lights off so I can see what they are on about ?

 

[Bash]

are the main head lights the same colour white as the side lights?

 

[cat171]

What ??

I just want a pic of a xenno'd car & a non xenon'd one & someone to show me the difference.

 

[AlexG]

non xenon, you can see the bulb just in the lamp
xenon, you cant see the bulb as it is in the projector lense
i think tell me if im wrong

 

[DrR]

I'd show you if photobucket would work!!!

xenons have like a little upturned glass dish on the outside of the light unit, normal lights like a cup just look like any normal dynamique lights, might not be right be i tried lol

 

[DrR]

Normal
bottom right light can see the bulb.

Xenons
bottom right light looks like a glass lense.

[john.med]

non xenon is normal pleb bogo lights, like mk I sports, mk II cups and such. Xenon is 'how I roll', the lens looks like your gran's cataract.

The RB blue one underneath has xenons :S

the inside ones are sidelights
so that rb has "xenon style" led sidelights with normal halogen headlight bulbs in the outer section of the lamp.

A quick way to tell if a car has xenons is that it'll have the headlamp washer jets . They have to be fitted by law to any car that has xenons .
