04 Xenon light on 02 model?

[Tymatk]

Hi all

Is it possible to replace a standard 02 headlight with an 04 Xenon light?

Thank you

Also how do i watch DVD or leave the TV running while the vehicle is moving? This is for my nephews and nieces to enjoy their TV or DVD.
Also can we upgrade the existing TV to Digital TV so they can watch their ABC 23?

Thank you

Well yes but the entire headlight assembly would have to be changed (wreckers?) as the I believe the projector optics are different (designed to avoid glare to oncoming traffic) then the perhaps more difficult thing is that to be legal you will also need the headlight washers that are integrated into the bumper bar.

Please do not just use a HID bulb upgrade. I would not want to be coming the other way even if you are on low beam.

You might consider a higher power / more efficient quartz bulb but do not consider the "blue light" bulbs. They do not throw as much light as the normal bulb colour.

Next check that your headlights are aligned correctly. This can make a huge difference.

Yes the HID headlights are bloody marvelous and I would not have a car without them now I have used them and so I can understand the desire for the upgrade but do it carefully please.

04 is facelift as the 02 is prefacelift so the whole headlight assemblies should be different

i have a 03 4.6 is and i bought depo angel light assemblies and they look great. i got the hid compatible one which takes D2S which is my oem xenons to transfer to new assembly. now i am upgrading to 75watt d2s to make it brighter. the cost of depo assembly was $350 from germany. i am stationed in UK as US military but you might get a cheaper price in stateside. good luck

I've installed over 20 HID kits on various cars hence why i'm after a FACTORY HID option, legal and no crazy glares.
If i was after a cheap HK hid kit, i'd have done it at ease without going through all this efford.
