replacing xenons to halogen

[SamB123]

my 54plate 182 has auto lights and xenons but I can't get them crystal clear using the restoration kits and they are really dull and hazy

my question is will my auto lights still work if I convert to halogen units??

and has anybody fitted these to their 182?

thanks

As tempting as it seems, the first thing anyone will think is 'That's been in a crash'.

Don't see why not, both xenon and halogen use the same plugs on wiring and lower spec models were available with auto lights/wipers

If they are about to part with £7k for the car,they won`t even know it should have Xenons.
As long as it`s shiny,good enough?

thanks for info guys I'd happily pay somebody to "restore" my current lights if local to leicester..

but these seem cheap enough to try out

so all I would need to buy extra is x2 decent halogen bulbs?

thanks again

The light output will be a downgrade.

Ive seen so many lights turn from extremely dull to decent on here. Persevere or put uo a post asking for help. Youll be glad youve kept them after that.

It will cost less than 70 quid for a pro restore on them and then saves you having s**t lights and the hassle of removing the bumper etc

I have created a thread in the "car detailing" section asking for help.

if anyone knows anybody local to leicester who fancies earning some good quick money then send them my way please :smile:

£££ notes paid

thanks

I've fitted these and it was a plug n play job, had to get the knack of reattaching the adjusters to the mechanism inside though. In the end I disconnected the wiring to the adjusters as they are not a requirement for incandescent, they can still be manually adjusted.
