Xenon to Halogen

If I have my CCF files modified to accept xenon headlights and then at a later date with fit the halogen bulbs would I then require the CCF files to be modified again to accept the halogen headlights?

I'm guessing the answer is Yes Whistle MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

No. Once modified to accept Xenons, it will recognise either lamp without further tampering required. Foraging near Gaydon....

How much did you pay for the mod?

Im guessing it made a huge difference as the xenons on the current LR models are impressive...... I've never driven a FL2 with them yet!

I have Xenons and they are hugely impressive, crisp, clear and self levelling ensure maximum beam length without dazzling oncoming traffic, you will be amazed👍👍

Thats good to hear Stuart Very Happy

For the UK will my car technically be road legal?

I already have the headlight washers BUT I will still have a manual headlight adjuster level in the car. However the xenons will be self levelling Whistle MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Dont know about road legal (construction and use act etc.) but speaking as an MOT tester, to pass the test, Xenon lights must have a working washer and self levelling device IF FITTED. If retro fitted with no levelling device (like mine Whistle ) it cannot be failed on the levelling device not working if it's not fitted. Thumbs Up

Cheers for the input chaps Thumbs Up

Its just the warranty issues thats holding me back. I wonder if there is a UK dealer who would activate them for me Whistle

Also if once activated I can revert back to halogens then why the Censored hell did JLR not make them a plug and play upgrade Big Cry MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Because if they were plug and play we would all be doing the mod and JLR would lose out

By having to have the ECU etc reprogammed they are banking on you going back to JLR and paying them a tidy sum to do it.

its a money making feature, thats not listed on the spec sheet

My Xenons are not self leveling ( I upgraded from Halogen ).
When I had them aligned at my local MOT place, I asked the question "are they legal, and will they pass a MOT"
The MOT tester told me that they would not fail a MOT.

Good enough for me Smile
They dont blind on coming traffic - like many after market bulb upgrade kits

Yes, and because a quick flash of the CCF takes all of about 30 seconds, it's nice easy money for them. Freelander 2 2007 TD4 Manual HSE Tambora Flame
