Just received my new RRS. Being the impatient type, rang around Australia till i found one with the options i wanted (and a few others i might add) but missed out on the xenon headlights. Anyone out there know if it's possible to fit the xenon headlights, not the adaptive, after delivery? I can't imagine it would be too much of a problem, just curious if they required heavier duty wiring or something? |

You may be able to do it, but the wiring harness will doubtless need to change. Xenons require a higher voltage to work.... you might alternatively consider higher rated halogens. I went through that circus with Mrs Shmoogle's FL a while ago... |

Hmm... I'm sure when I was looking into it for the FL it wasn't as simple as just swapping the bulbs. I suppose it may well be different for different cars. Let us know how it pans out for the RRS, driller... looks like a useful bit of info will come to the surface |

Will there be any issue with the heat from the new bulbs? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

No you can't just change the bulbs, I am talking about changing the whole lamps |

I understand that all xenon headlights must have the headlamp spray jets installed also... .

Yes indeed, was looking at changing out the whole assembly. Not really keen on aftermarket rubbish and bolt ons. Cliff, how nuch did you pay for your D3 units. Just got a quote here in oz for an absolutely ridiculous amount of money, $5000.00 each! |

Isn't that more of a legal requirement rather than safety or functional? L319 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB |

You are correct - it is a legal requirement in Europe to have both headlight washers and dynamic height adjustments...
