No. Also bear in mind that the conversion with AFS lights has proved to be hit and miss (and no-one has been able to pinpoint the deciding factor) - you may find they won't work. Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Thanks for the response LOW. Is it still a hit and miss even if my 2006 has AfS from factory? |

Yes, 'fraid so. The ECU communicates with the lights by LIN bus, and it seems some modules will communicate and others won't, and as yet, I don't think anyone has found the link as to why. The pre- and post-facelift models use differen't CANBUS bitrates, which means the ECUs aren't cross-compatible, so it's down to whether the lights work with the existing ECU or not.
