Re: Replace Xenon with Halogens Posted by Herb Hirsch [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Replace Xenon with Halogens, PaulC, Sat, 25 Nov 2006 10:37:41 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Yes, it could be done. And yes, it would be a lot of work.
Replacing the Xenon assemblies with hlogen assemblies may just be the easiest part of the job. The voltage and current requirements for the halogens is very different from the xenons.
You would have to obtain the wiring diagram for the car and rewire for halogens. It's possible that the wiring is alrady there and disabled for the halogens; it's more likely that the cable assemblies used are appropriate for the xenons and useless for the halogens. Disabling the circuitry for the xenon transformers and power, and the shutter assemblies is another small item you'll have to consider. Without the car and the applicable wiring diagrams it's impossible for me to guess what else must be addressed.
This is a project with questionable benefits and a lot of work...not to mention the fact that there is no support resource in the event that you run into trouble...likely unless you're an electronics technician or engineer.
