Default St225 headlights.

Right my st3 has the shocking xenons. New ones are pretty much half the value of the car. 2nd hand is not worth it they have all done the same mileage and are probably just as dull as mine are. I’m going to down grade to normal H7 bulb headlights so I can actually see in the dark lol. Anyone know if there plug and play or will require chopping the loom about

Yep plug straight in work absolutely fine. Turns out all the winging has on one with Xenons is an extra earth. I put 2 descent Philips bulbs in and I can actually see at night now lol. A down grade up grade

I chucked the xenons in the bin and fitted standard H7 headlights in. I now have lights that are not dangerous and I can see the road lol
