Title: Xenons Q
Post by: Dingleberry on 16 January 2010, 11:11:11

If an Omega has the headlight washers fitted, does this mean that it definately has xenons fitted ?

Cheers  :y

no.

Early (pre 1998) Elites had Halogen lights with washers.

Apart from that, only factory fitted to those with HID's (Xenon's)

And the pre 1998 halogens would have had the projectors aswell ?

Mine is a late 97 Elite with Xenons and headlight washers. At least I presume they are. Blueish light? How can you tell?

I might be wrong :-/ but I think projectors were fitted as standard on the mini facelift, circa 97/98

If they are HID`s you won`t have the manual adjuster wheel on the lefthand side of the lighting switch. And when switched on there`s a slight delay to full illumination due to ballast powering up

No manual adjusting wheel, slight delay. HIDs they be.

Sorry to bring this back up. Yet another Q

The plug that plugs into the ballast pack, when the headlights are switched on does this supply a permenant 12v to the ballast pack ?  :y
