Are you sitting down ?
?
i have no idea how much they are but i know you will need to be sat down lol
-
A lot! :laugh:
-
Yep I think for each headlight without bulbs ignitors etc your looking at 500+ so I can see the total being about £2k
-
Just FYI rich my xenons were 560 plus postage about 18 months ago
-
Seeing as I'm mid retrofit of Xenons myself Rich, these are just estimates from when I called Parkway Northampton previously but;
Per Xenon headlight- £510 inc vat ish
Ballasts are about £220 inc vat (each)
Bulbs about £130 inc vat (each)
Ignition starter not sure as I didnt ask. Bear in mind this is what I can remember from a rough post it note from over 6 months ago.
Ebay is the way to go for a set as you may well be aware as they come up frequently in good nick with bulbs + ballasts.
HTH :smiley:

i seem to recall the total being 2k, or if you can get the headlights on fleabay then about £800- £900 all in :surprised:

yeh, it depends if you want ballasts and looms etc, not a cheap add on mod this one lol, especially if you want to do it properly

Oh where you including auto leveling? (Will be fitting to my next car soon) Thats about right the auto leveling of Kufatec is £350 I believe.
:happy2:

Glad you got sorted rich! I guess I'll be seeing them soon ;)
-
Jay,
Yup, will email you when i've received both Lamps & Adaptors ( which hopefully should be this week ) :jumping:
-
Rich are you doing headlight washers and auto levellers uswel?
-
I guess the xenons were a bargain "optional extra" for £800 IIRC. :P

Nope - not spending that much :wink:
The xenon lights & looks will do me nicely :star:

Oh yeah...forgot about that... if you go for xenons you get the heated washer jets for free (from VW).
