How to change your headlamps to xenon

To get HIDS in the Seat OEM Bi-Xenon headlights we have 2 options

1) the OEM set up of ballasts and bulbs - £540
2) aftermarket HID kit ballasts and bulbs - £90

So buy the aftermarket HID kit from HIDS-Direct or the likes.

Is that not obvious and clear enough?

Its an absolutely half arsed way to do it.

1) the OEM set up of ballasts and bulbs - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THESE PARTS FROM THE DEALER. YOU WILL GET THESE CHEAPER FROM EUROPARTS ETC ETC.

2) aftermarket HID kit ballasts and bulbs - why buy 2 quality OEM projectors then stick in a shite chinese hid kit? Which , going by next year will fail an MOT anyway.

You should be able to pick up the bulbs & ballasts required to fit the OEM projector for half the price quoted under 1).

Yea I know what you mean, I'd love to have the OEM set up but it way expensive, will have to price it up from Euro, get my mate to order them and get them at trade.

Got there in the end, lol
Cheers

nop part numbers are for europe mainland so i guess you have to look for the right ones for you, the cost well i found a guy that sells them pretty cheap 300 euros both headlamps d1s bulbs and both ballast and give you for free a pair of ballast or bulbs whatever your choice is.


the connectors and cables costs 20 euros top for the pair, so isnt very expensive to do it and is very easy and looks hot

How can i get hold some of these headlamps you mention ???..??

Sorry to dig up a kind of old topic but does assuming (not sure if they have or not) these headlights have DRL's does it need anything extra to make them work?

Thanks!

anyone know if these part numbers are for pre-facelift or facelift models ? also, regarding the range control motor mentioned above, is that the auto adjuster ? if so could the motor from the standard headlight work ?

ive also been on kufatec.de and found a kit they do. is this just the sensors and control unit for the auto leveling? http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_...ing-Headlights---Retrofit---Seat-Leon-1P.html also do the sensors bolt to the struts somewhere ? is that how it works ?

any info greatly appreciated !!

part numbers are for the prefacelifts.

The standard range /height control will not work with the OEM Xenons - they only work off the auto self leveling system.

I have done the conversion and left the auto leveling out as it is from my understanding, a very big job to do - wiring looms not matching, etc.

Not sure how that system in the link works but it looks a bit shoddy tbh! LOL

Note: the facelifts xenon bulbs only need the rear nivelator for afs. Front is not needed because bulbs got autoleveling inside


s2ttb if you have any question with the afs retrofiting ask to me, i have retrofitted yet

Hi everybody.

I read that swapping the plugs is a bit of a PITA so I gave it a shot before I get the bumper off and everything. I took off the plug and slid the pink tab, then, with a very small screwdriver I tried to release the pins to no avail... what's the trick to do this? Or should I just take out the dremel and cut the plug?

would anyone be interested in a brand new pair of genuine xenon headlights also includes bulbs but needs control boxes

I have some bi-xenon headlamps for driving left. They are for the facelift. The headlights are complete and with AFS.

The sell for 350 pounds.(Negotiable)

If you want pictures, ask him and I teach them.

PS: The part numbers for facelift are: 5P2 941 753 D and 5P2 941 754 D

It's the one for the xenon high beam [if your headlamps are bixenons]. Goes inside the cabin to the relay assembly. Check the link I posted in post #52, it's all written there.

That said, I don't have that connected [seriously can't be arsed...] and I got the normal halogen high beam working...

how did u get the halogen high beam working i be happy with that

if the adapter is done properly, the halogen should work no problem straight away...
