Personally I would put it back to standard with some nice clear halogen clusters. My mate has the ED30 with halogen lights… although not as bright as my xenon’s they are absolutely fine on the road at night.

Hey thanks for the response, so then I'd be ok with buying the headlights that say "DOES NOT FIT WITH FACTORY XENON/HID HEADLIGHTS"? Because mine are NOT Xenons correct?
Would I be good with going with something like

p.s also, does every single one of my posts/replies have to get reviewed before its public? its really annoying having to wait forever to post a single reply

GreigC:
I’d guess your car has the adapter looms fitted as it’s currently got xenon’s. If you fit the halogens back the connectors are already there from factory. You can sell those xenon’s for good money if they are genuine. (Might want to buff them though)

Are there any ballasts there? They do sell aftermarket Xenon-look, but it takes a standard H7 or similar and presumably the standard loom?
