How rare are ED30s with xenons?
« on: February 10, 2016, 01:25:58 pm »
Just wandering how common it is for ED30s to have xenons? I'm on the lookout for one and originally wanted a high spec one with xenons but looking around I've seen a few that look good but hardly any seem to have xenons - I don't mind waiting a bit for a good spec but don't want to waste my time if hardly any have them

I looked for ages when I was buying one and sacrificed them for a lower milage example. At the end of the day they are only lights, they may look better but you could always add depo lights with hids in the future.

About 2 in 6 ed30s had projectors so about a third I'm guessing.

I'm in the same dilemma, I can pick up a high miler with perfect spec or a low miler not as good spec

The very first ED30 I looked at (and duly bought) had xenons, 3 dr, sun roof, winter pack thingy, RNS510, Highline display and some other stuff.  I assumed they all came with xenons like the R32!  I guess I got lucky  :smiley:

Don't forget EVERYTHING can be retro fitted. One of the joys of the Mk5/Mk6 platform.

Mine was 3dr, red, fsh and came with xenons and was the 1st ED30 I looked at  :happy2:

They are nic indeed but as others say you can fit this in after so I would be looking for the important things like condition, FSH etc first

Thats why I'm not too fussed about MFSW and sat nav but I thought retro fitting Xenons was expensive and a nightmare?

They are expensive and probably not straight forward to fit as mine were fitted from factory but still probably a lot less expensive that sacrificing on quality of car to get them and then something happens to a mechanical part that was not looked after  :confused:
