Trophy?

[Rich-VT]

did trophy's come with xenons?


if not how hard would they be to fit?

 

[Lee]

No, just standard headlamps.

 

[Rich-VT]

would it be hard to change over?

 

[Stevie]

yes, need washer jets by law and auto level adjust too I believe.

 

[Rich-VT]

would a second hand headlight unit not include the level control?

wouldn't bother about washers

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^iirc yes.

 

[FlameR]

a chap called mattblack on here sells them iirc

 

[Beef-Mc]

£150 a side for Xenons.

Are the auto-levelers not attached to something on the rear beam though?

 

[gaz_5103]

you need washer jets by law on xenons? anyone know why?

iirc it's something to do with the beam of light, being distorted [muck,dirt] so the headlamp washers keep the lights clean.

 

[portland]

Really not worth it....

 

[Gaz_]

If you were not arsed about the auto levelling and headlamp wash, they do bolt straight in and work............. Lots of non sports owners do this. You will dazzle other drivers though lol!!

 

[AstoN]

Not really, all ph2's have the switch inside to adjust lights anyway don't they?

Unless they're auto levelling obv. They are adjustable, what's the problem?

Problem is no washers!

 

[Ian_182]

I didnt know it was law not to have xenons and no washers

 

[daydotz]

I didnt know it was law not to have xenons and no washers

it is now

 

[Ian_182]

Ah a few changes must of been made then.

So yep it would involve cutting up your bumper to fit or find a ff 182 front one

 

[kevin.s]

iv got xenons and one of my washers is missing the top off it would this fail an MOT if i put it in for one

 

[AstoN]

Just keep your car clean.

Isn't that just one of the laws for them to be available as standard/option.

Not sure if it still applies to retro-fitted headlights. Plus it looks ultra cool without the washers, nice and smoothed.

My Trophy had them fitted, purchased new and fitted by a dealership, I recently reverted back to standard so will have a set for sale.

They were exceptionally easy to fit (plug and play so to speak)

A combination of reasons really:

• My pampered car might see some track action this year, If it does I’d rather a smashed standard unit than expensive Xenon one.
• My Car is only really used in fine weather and during the day so the standard units albeit with upgraded bulbs are sufficient for me.
• If I manage to sell them for £250 it pays for something else on my list.

Interestingly enough when I first bought my car I was told the Xenon’s where much heavier than the standard units, while this is true it’s a much smaller variance than I was expecting when I removed them.
