Hi I want to retrofit Bi-Xenon headlight to my 2009 Exeo.
Has anyone done it before? What things I gonna need, besides headlights itself?

Most likely reprogramming of the eeprom at the dealership due to the faulty bulb detection.
I believe it cannot be done with VCS.

I think it is an EU requirement that xenon's must have headlamp washers which could mean a front bumper change ? My SE Lux had xenon's and headlamp washers built into the front bumper that popped out automatically when the screenwash was used. I also seem to recall that it also had a larger washer fluid bottle and low washer fluid warning symbol in the dash display.

This might be worth investigating as my knowledge is probably not up to date !

And I also recall that the Exeo xenon's are self levelling and cornering. The headlamp units contain electric motors which would mean a lot more wiring and programming than standard light units.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but if you like really challenging projects I'm sure you will enjoy this one !

Correct my Exeo ST has factory fit Bi-Xenon with washers, levelling and cornering...works really well.

But I believe the washer requirements have been dropped for aftermarket xenon lights.
Check that at your local approval body...
