Lowering Mk2 Leon with Xenons

[Donnyboy]

Has anyone with a Mk2 Leon Cupra or Mk2 Leon with xenons had any problems with them after lowering it?

I'm thinking of fitting sportlines but don't want to create problems. Any other issues to watch out for when lowering?

Dont see any issues at all with Lowering and fitting Xenons.
Might be worth getting the alignment of the lights done, once you get the Xenon Kit fitted.

You will find your Xenon components/ballasts mount behind the light area.
While your suspension upgrade wont interfere with this at all.

These Two Mods are at the top of my list too! Will transform the look once both sorted.

I think Donny's car already had Xenons as standard. DJ has Xenon's and lowered suspension and I am sure that he just lowered the car and the lights adjusted themselves.

Yeah I have xenons as standard on mine.

I had read some posts about the xenons not self testing of being stuck very low after lowering. Wasn't sure if it was a fault with the xenons or a result of lowering.

 

[FR_Flavoured]

Great, ok so no issues there. Sorry for adding any confusion.

 

[Donnyboy]

So everyone with xenons haven't had any problems?

Assuming the lowering takes a higher toll in the front the way it is usually done, the lights might be pointing down a bit, therefore they could be limited to 3-6 feet in front of you.

I'm no expert but I've seen Xenons auto-aim [level up] so they don't bend too low after lowering. [on a BMW]
I don't know if it's a factory specification or something all of them come with, but I'd make sure to check with the seller before fitting anything.

I wasn't sure if the xenons would level up when the car was lower of whether they were set to the current height and would not go above that, thus making the range shorter.

There's a few people on here with lowered cars with xenons so maybe they'll post up how they got on??

You should be fine. We've done a few now without any problems.

Do you know if the xenons raise up to the normal level once they do the self test?

 

[DamianPM]

Yeah they've always leveled themselves out.

Yeah they've always leveled themselves out.

Damian @ DPM Performance

Thanks Damian.

I've been quoted £140 to fit the springs and do the alignment. That seem fair price?

 

[DamianPM]

No problem.

Yeah about average.

[Donnyboy]

Thanks again.

Now I just need to get a date for doing it and buy the springs. This place looks good for getting them from . - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/eib...-fsi-fr-20t-si-20tdi-fr-20tdi-0805-p-172.html

When I lowerd my fr on konis and sportlines the xenons still did their tests but stayed realy low. Went to the dealer and they manually leveled them through the diagnostics port for £40. Now they are perfect and adjust themselves as normal.

Thats great. I'll do that if I get problems.
