LIGHT SWAPS

-

Swapping a headlight or rear light unit for an aftermarke­t item is often straightfo­rward, but in some cases, the wiring needs to be modified or a new multi-plug fitted, so check first before spending your money. Upgrading from standard lighting to xenon HID or LEDS will often require wiring modificati­ons and additional components. Xenon HID headlight units may include a power pack – see the FAQ section for the legalities of uprating standard headlights with xenon HID bulbs. LEDS may need resistors if a vehicle has sensors and warning systems to identify a blown rear light bulb.
