depends on the complier but they usually will either modify your xenons to become H1 halogens (waste of good xenons) or remove the headlight and put some other branded headlight in (i forgot the brand)

to save your xenons, try to source / borrow halogens and get it compiled.. afterwards, just replace them

imo, xenons are WAY brighter and look "cool".. they are also cool temperature wise

my halogens look ugly and not that great, esp in the rain

I had mine replaced to halogens when i took delivery of the car....headlamps still had the xenon word in it...but the bulbs were jst ur normal halogen H1 type. Got my xenons put back in about a week later and holy shit...u can definately tell the difference! Its white as compared to the yellow beams from a halogen. Comparable to the white flourescent tubes for homes I guess to your normal halogen yellow bulbs. When u first turn them on they flicker for like 1/2 a sec then takes about 10 secs to reach full brightness. Definately make a difference on road and looks cool too :P

mine had the headlights replaced,, to halogen headlights,, wires were cut and everything,, grrr!!,, they don't look as good as the xenon headlights,, looks more like the ford headlights

so i just chucked in some HID's and now they are brighter then factory xenon's

How easy are they to replace??... will be complying my 34 in around a month

and will def. want to keep the xenons.

i bet they will have to take them out for compliance though. damn ADR

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
