Hi!

Im from Portugal, and i have a focus 3,5 facelift, with halogen and led day lights.

But i want to change the optics to a version with xenon, it is possible? Have the complete piece available?

And is easy to install, just connect the master cable from the old optics to the new ones?

 

Thanks in advance

    Yes it's possible. You need the projector headlights, ballasts, xenon lamps, headlight washers, and the self levelling system. 

    You can't just put xenon lamps into halogen reflector headlights. You'll blind everyone on the road.

    A better option may be LED. You can now get LED's that are designed to be fitted in reflector unit to save you messing about. You won't quite get the bright light of a xenon in a projector, but it'll be a dam sight better than the halogens you have now.

    What LED's can I put into reflector housing?
