Default HID headlamp conversion??

See my e bay link for these lamps! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Jaguar-XK-HID-...QQcmdZViewItem
From a jag but have all the gubbins needed to just give the 12v supply! the hid part is removeable and would make a nice conversion, obviously you'd need to mod you headlight to fit but looks like only making the headlamp hole bigger!!

Cheers, Gary

I know matey, i've seen them

, everything needed is contained in the unit though!! it just has the 12v supply to the ballast ( screwed under the lamp unit and then fed to the bulb! Thats why each unit retails at £526 + VAT!!

I once tried to fit a set of Xenons in to a nova head lamp, it all worked perfectly and looked truely stunning but we could never get the beam right, this is because the bulb is a lot longer than a standard bulb.

this should give the correct beam pattern if the reflector is retained
