cayenne???? retro fit

[Kilsoj]

so i am about to pull the trigger on a 2010 cayenne diesel.

it is from the same dealer i bought my 996 turbo from and i was very impressed with them.

the spec of the car is brilliant, except it doesnt have bi xenons, which i do find very good as do a lot of night time driving.

i know there are loads out there, but this one seems perfect except for this.

so i guess im asking can bi xenons be retro fitted?

thanks

I would try it without for a while - perhaps with a bulb upgrade. The standard lights are very good

There are plenty of options to upgrade later if you still decide you need to. The Porsche option will be very expensive unless you can get the parts from a breaker

good advice thanks will do.....is it actually possible to retro fit parts from a breakers?

You can retrofit hid lights in the existing projector housing for about 100 quid, did it in my 987 worked fine

thanks jake any issue re mot? does anyone know can you actually retrofit the oem one?

[jakesmith]

I had no issues MOT time, at the time the MOT only stipulated the auto-leveling & washer function ust work on original fit xenons
You'd be spending a packet retrofitting OEM if you wanted that functionality - you'd need a new bumper, washer tank, pump, motors for leveling, loom etc. Not to mention potentially having to re-program the car so the canbus works with them. Not sure if you could just plug the light units in & have them work - would almost certainly be cheaper to find another car to buy. The retrofit by contrase takes about 30 mins to fit in the Boxster, not sure about Cayenne but can't be that different.

OP: I have a pair of OEM Xenons if you're interested.

Think the car may need to be programmed/coded to allow the Xenons to work properly (as they draw less current than halogen lamps).

Drop me a PM if you're interested.
