headlights
« on: 24 January 2016, 20:00:59 »
I found some h/lights on ebay & quite near to home ( a round trip of 50mls ) I made an offer £30 for the pair with a message to say I,d pick them up. I don't think it took 2minutes for the guy to contact me & except my offer . this may seem like a stupid question but are lights with xenons the same lamp as them without ?  :-\

No. Halogens and Xenons are different units.

Also be aware that any lamp you buy is likely to have damaged(or worse) adjusters.
