WTD - Pre Facelift Xenons

[AndrewZ4MC]

Hi All,

I am after some pre-facelift xenons. I know it is a long shot but well worth an ask.

Thanks

Andrew

I have a full set in storage that I took off my car when I did the clear headlight conversion. I'm in 2 minds whether to sell them, or whether to keep hold of them for when I sell the car and then sell the clear.

I don't really know how much they go for. They're in good condition with no damage - I've kept hold of the ballasts, igniters and bulbs for my current lights.

Without ballasts etc aren't they just normal lights?

2nd hand xenon units rarely come with the ballasts, igniters and bulbs, as these parts alone are worth quite a bit. Even if you buy a new headlight from BMW, these parts are sold separately.

I believe the hardware of a xenon headlight is different to the hologen, some of it will be the same but there are differences in the wiring, headlight lens, auto-adjustment etc.

Ahhh, ok ok, I don't know much about xenons etc. I'll have to see what on earth it is I have in the garage

Wasn't trying to hurt your sale, just understand the differences.

No problem at all! They do look very similar.

I think there's a quick way to check, if you look on the front of the headlight on the clear lens/cover, it should say DS2 if it is a xenon. I think it may also say DS2 somewhere on the rear casing too.

Are you looking for a set which includes bulbs, igniters and ballasts in the sale, or just the headlamp units?

Hi Andrew,

looking for a full set really but am open to bits and pieces and I will just collect the bits.

Thanks mate.

Hi Andrew,

I'm currently on business in China so I'll check when I have when I'm home at the weekend as I may have a few of the other spare bits also, I'll then drop you a message.

Andrew.
