Yep I think for each headlight without bulbs ignitors etc your looking at 500+ so I can see the total being about £2k

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:
