Retrofit Xenons

Have many people done these.? I felt it was a shame the Monaro lacked them and I've done mine. Works well with the projector style headlight.

Points worth noting.

They are H11 fit.

The lights are live 24/7 and just the earth(neutral) gets switched. If you have a kit that earths via the ballast you'll have lights on _all_ the time.

The bulbs are tricky to get at. Shuffling the battery back helps but it's hardly plain sailing. Other side is just as bad.

Would be better if you could easily remove the whole headlight as per my previous car.

Someone on here has fitted them and thre weren't any reports of always-on lights. Could that be sorted with an additional relay?

Am keen to do this myself, having done it on another car and seen the difference it makes. Mind, it's not a popular mod with everyone here!

it depends on the kit. Provided it doesn't pick up its neutral feed via the ballast earthing on the car body it's no problem. Relays wouldn't help. You'd just need to fix the ballast to something non-conductive.

Not all kits pick up a neutral in this manner.

Magic, where did you get yours from? I did have details of a seller from someone else on here but the seller didn't have H11 when I contacted them. Is the dipped beam def the H11 and not the H9?

I got mine from HIDS4U www.hids4u.co.uk/ . They are UK based and sell decent kits. eBay is cheaper, of course. You pay's your money...

The dip beam is H11. It's written on the top edge of the headlight (open the bonnet) so you can verify yours.

never had any problems with mine staying on all the time and i just plugged mine straight into the original wiring plugs no extra wiring, cutting or relays.

It's fine provided the ballasts don't take their neutral via the body.
