Slimer,

Xenons arrived yesterday in perfect condition. Appreciate your efforts to get them.

Just need time to fit them now! - Probably after Xmas!

How long should I allow to do the chnage over?

Thanks and regards,

Keith...

Thumbs Up 10 minutes should be all it takes Keith, get yer winter woolies on and get out there Very Happy



Still 2 sets available if anyone's interested, very doubtful if I'll be able to get any more once they've gone and even if I can the price will more than likely go up again because of the limited supply

Just wondering it says ealier in the thread that xenons are a straight swap as long as it's not a coil spung disco, what's different on a coil spung model?

ISTR it's to do with the self-levelling that is a requirement for Xenons, on a air-sprung D3 the whole vehicle self levels so this is catered for. As this doesn't happen on coil sprung you need a manual adjustment which is only good for Halogens

I fitted the new Xenons today - 30 min job! The most difficult bit was lifting-up the headlamp retaining clips.

My D3 is the Limited Edition GS and was fitted with standard headlamps. These Xenons are a straight swap!

Just 5 or 6 flickers before the Xenons stabilise - What an improvement and they look great.

Thanks for your help Slimer. Thumbs Up

After trying various tools etc to lift the retaining tabs i have finally settled on using a Pry Bar.
A hand pry bar fits nicely under the retaining tab and the angle on the bar gives you the required pressure to lift the tabs without braking or damaging anything else.
