Hi all, just fitted some oem xenon headlight units to my 57 plate td4 hse and the lights flicker when the engine is running, do I need to have the software reprogrammed to enable the xenons?

Yes the car need telling that it has xenons fitted Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Your not too far away from pete at bell auto spares at York who should be able to do this for you, not sure if a dealer would Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

No, a dealer won't/can't edit the CCF to do this.

Well, depends on the dealer...
I know a dealer that has an Autologic tool and can do this...

I think York might be a little closer though Alex  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Can't find any listing for Pete at Bell auto spares in York, any ideas?

hi

I am thinking of a xenon upgrade.

Is the xenon balast built into the headlight ?
also, does it use the same connector as halogen lights,

just wanted to make sure I know what I need before I start the mini project  

hi you guys see the new mot regs for 2012 b4 you fit xenon h/lamps i am sure that u will have to have self levling system fitted and h/l washers otherwise it will fail new mot in 2012 so b4 you part with ur hard earned cash make sure you check the new regs out  rainy-city

are the self leveling motors not built into the headlamps? I would assume they are? If so would it not be possible to fit the leveling sensors (or infact is the wiring already there to do so?) to enable this feature.

This is something I really want to do but I want it to be right or not at all. 2007 '57' Freelander 2 XS Sumatra Black TD4 Automatic - Standard (for now!)

Indeed the motors are there and they are driven by the voltage generated by the little module that it's used for manually adjusting the height.
If you want automatic leveling, then, besides leveling sensors, you'll need to buy/install the leveling ECU too.
This is the "brain" that automatically generates that voltage needed, like you manually adjusted the light.
They came in two "flavours", with or without adaptive front system. (that light around the corner stuff)
And in the end, it may be needed to modify the car configuration file in order to register your modifications.
