C34 Series 2 Xenon Headlights

[2000 RS]

Hey guys,

Im currently trying to get my car through regency, Everything has passed except for my headlight.

I thought xenons were factory on these cars?

[BigDirtyJase]

They're actually a factory option on our cars...

Also the xennon's are removed and the wires are cut (either nicely or crudely) during compliance as they don't meet the rules of being self levelling and cleaning which is silly because I've seen BMW's and Mercs that have xennons and blind the hell out of me.

yep, but the point is ADRs require self levelling and washers, and these cars don't have them...so xenons have to be removed

you should be able to put a normal halogen in them easily, it would have been done at compliance and maybe reversed since. or if you know it was not done at compliance get them to do it for you

I hope its that easy duncan, ill try that over the weekend.

Ouch ! What did you get defected for , did you have to change heaps back to standard,

[2000 RS]

defected for windows being too dark (smoked glass), rims too wide, air pod, loud exhaust. They tryed defecting me for a standard blo off valve lol wankers.......

[2000 RS]

I have coil overs also, had to get them ripped out and standard springs fitted,

cost me a penny.

Just letting you guys know if you get defected and need to switch your xenon headlights back too halogens to get thru regency here in Adelaide, take your car too synergy Motorsport on main north rd medindie.

It will set you back $220 for the halogen kit, you can get your xenons put back in for a further $100.

I had the same issue with factory xenons at Regency. Nisswreck had a set of standard headlights that I borrowed (for a fee).
