Hello,
I have a pair of complete 2008 bi-xenon headlights (LCI) that I bought to retrofit in my car... What I should have bought was pre-LCI since I am no csar mechanic and the retrofitting of the LCI is out of the question for me.
So I will consider selling these.
These are in very good condition (photos will follow if the interest is there) and as mentioned complete!
What can I expect to get for these I wonder?
I could also be very interested in swapping these for a complete set of pre-LCI bi-xenons in very good conditions as well (non adaptive).
Please make suggestions if relevant.
Best regards,
Jan

will norway lights work on US Spec cars?
And thanks for your interest.
I am prety sure these will work on US cars, but please make sure by investigating further here on this forum, or ask somebody who knows
Pictures added here
with regards to the price... since I live in Norway where prices are very high compared to UK and US (where most of the interest seem to come from) it is hard for me to set a price. But I have already received an offer of USD600 + shipping. After a few days I will evaluate and see what I do.
Please also note that a swap for pre-LCI xenons is relevant (if in very good condition and clear blinkers).

few differences I see from these LCIs vs the ones I have:
- The inner headlight seems to also be a projector, this is not the case on Xenon US Spec lights
- The Sticker on the top of the headlight does not say anything about DOT or anything whereas mine do
- There is no AHL module on the bottom of the headlight next to the xenon ballast
US buyers beware...
In any case the dual projectors look sickkk, i wish US spec had that...

DOT is regulations only for the US.

the euro headlights are different from US lights.
DOT is regulations only for the US.

just thought I'd point it out since it was still a difference...

Can anyone confirm that the above mentioned AHL-module is actually NOT supposed to be there on the euro-lights, and that I am not missing something here (since I have listed these as "complete")
Thanks again!
