Xenons help - Removing & Re fitting
« on: August 21, 2011, 08:20:31 pm »

Leon will differ in minor details but some help needed.

Does anyone have any info on removing Xenon Headlamps & reffiting?

I have to take my LHD xenons out and put my Uk ones back in.

I have done Halogen Lamps swap on a Leon but I originally paid for the German Xenons to be swapped over by the dealer on my car...

Looking at my original RHD Xenons they look much more technical than the Halogens I swapped on a friends car

** Also are LHD Xenons switchable or adjustable to work as RHD ones.

Thanks in advance

German dealer did it for me and they made a right meal of it and charged me for all three courses of said meal.

Sorted now though  :happy2:

Cheers

Do the Leon xenons have the manual mask internally for temporarilly masking the dip when you hop over La Manche - or are they electronically swapped via VCDS ('tourist mode')?
