Xenon conversion for ZT?
Can anybody tell me if it is possible to have the halogen headlights on my ZT 1.8T converted/upgraded to the xenon variety as fitted to SE models? My car is maintained by an independent MG/Rover specialist who would be able to carry out the conversion at reasonable labour rates, so I guess it'll be the purchase price of the units that is likely to be the stumbling block.
Can anyone help please? Cheers, Rupert |

If you mean the OEM HID Xenon headlights, then the answer is yes but they will set you back up to around £300 without fitting.
Retail they are just under £1000. There is much cheaper Kits available on EBay what some members have fitted but I have not seen or used them for Comparison. |

Sorry John, I don't quite understand your reply; will the xenon lights cost me £300 or £1,000? Would my local SMC dealership supply them or can you suggest somewhere else I might try?
Regards, Rupert |

To buy from a dealer would cost £400 each if you watch EBay you can pick them up for £200/£300 if your lucky.
