How to tell if an ST220 has xenons?

[bungle]

How do i tell? They all have headlight washers, which i usually think is a giveaway on other cars. If it was dark i could tell obviously but otherwise how can i tell? Can i get the options from the reg any way? Thanks.

The headlamp unit is different.

Put the registration into Ford Etis and it will tell you.

Sorry, Ford virgin, what/where is this? Thanks.

Edit: if anyone has this and would be so kind as to check EA54 XGX and EN54 ORL I would be very grateful, thanks.

Look on eBay at item 221045647051. They have like a fresnel lens on the lamp.

Strange. For the registrations you've provided it doesn't bring up what options the car has.

Cheers. I might be being thick but where are the options?

Your edit beat me to it!

Might help you tell the difference.

To be honest, I'm not sure what non xenons look like on the Mondeo but my picture is definitely of xenons.

Are you buying an ST220?

Thanks for the pics Craig.

Yes, hoping to, they look pretty good value to me at the moment for what you get (blend of performance and practicality (with the estate)).

The above picture is what Xenon lamps look like on the mk3 Mondeo. This is what it looks like without them:




That was mine when I bought it. I have since retro-fitted them.

Also cars with xenons don't have a headlamp height adjuster by the headlamp switch (it's automatic).

Fair enough... not managed to get off my fat ar5e to look at them myself yet, so good luck to you if you get there first! Which one? ...and does it have xenons? ;-)

Booked in early doors to see one and then another one. Pocket has some crisp folding in it so we will see.

i am travelling though, few and far between are these motors!

Fair enough. I'll hold off phoning places till after lunch, so you don't get the "oohhh, there's someone else interested, just had him on the phone" comment. Would probably be Sunday or next week till I could get there anyway.

Bungle,

Really appreciated. Thanks.
