OK people, i've searched this forum and nobody can give a definitive answer, but I'm pretty sure it is possible. I have halogen headlights and want to retrofit xenon. I'm not worried about the headlight washers and self-levelling feature as of yet, lets pass the first hurdle first.
I've found a xenon retrofit pdf which shows a retrofit wiring harness with a wiring diagram. Does anyone have wiring diagram of the halogen wiring harness? Can the original harness be modified?

I've bought a pair of xenon headlights part# 63127165565 and 63127165566 but don't contain the igniters and bulbs. These are non adaptive units, didn't want the headache of reprogramming the CIP. I have a few questions ....
Are the igniters hard to source? Does anyone have any pics of the headlight internals with all ballasts fitted? Why do the headlights have 3 connectors, 1 big and one small at the back and 1 big underneath? sorry no pics yet.
From previous posts, I am informed that when you run the engine with the lights on after the retrofit you get a blown bulb warning light and the xenon bulbs flicker and switch off. Can the car be reprogrammed the think it has oem xenons as standard?
Thanks in advance for any help
